Hey, community :)

I run a website that showcases the best open-source companies. Recently, I've added a new feature that filters self-hosted tools and presents them in a searchable format. Although there are other options available, like Awesome-Selfhosted, I found it difficult to find what I needed there, so I decided to display the information in a more digestible format.

You can check out the list here: https://openalternative.co/self-hosted

Let me know if there’s anything else I should add to the list.

Thanks!

It's a tough balance, you don't want a whole page for each one. Maybe if there was a clear list of tags so it's easier to understand even what category they're talking about?

For example:
Penpot
Design freedom meets open-source collaboration

I really don't know what this product category even is. Is it for web layout? Is it a drawing program? Is it for CAD?

Fair point. I'll try to add more context to the listings. Thanks!

Maybe consider collapsible dropdowns or similar for the extra information

This is the solution. That way i can decide if i want to read more about one of them and then sinply open the dropdown.

personally I love it when websites solve this problem with hover hints, theres something satisfying about seeing a paragraph of text on hover that just answers all my questions. not sure how that'd work for people viewing on mobile though

[–] Shimitar@feddit.it 1 points 3 hours ago

No please, hover links are just useless to tablet and mobile users, anybody without a mouse actually!

[–] piotrkulpinski@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Added just that! Thank you for the suggestion.
