Yeah, would be cool to feature all of the projects and let people comment why they like it over the other ones.
ok so instead of "ideas" would be something more like "projects", right?
Yeah, that would be cool. I want a curated list of up-to-date open source software and a lot of times websites like https://alternativeto.net/ give you some abandoned personal project as the only open source alternative. But that's because it's not focusing on open source software
Ok, noted!!
Changing the direction to the project to something more focused in discussing new and existing projects would be nice!
A few of you are commenting about that or something similar.
I'm thinking about two sections in the "projects" part.
One would be what you are suggesting, a list with open source projects, to be able to look for new or already well established alternatives to non open source projects, with some short description to highlight their advantages.
The second one would be a place to share ideas/look for contributors/find a project you are interested in and contribute...
I'll start thinking how to do that as soon as i have some time!
Thanks for the feedback!
