Thank you.

You should check it for sure! I actually use it to deploy some of the services I need for running OpenAlternative.

I use NextJS for both front and backend. I’m open for any contributions if you’re interested.

Added just that! Thank you for the suggestion.

We’ve talked with Ethan (owner of selfh.st) and shared some insights, but I’d definitely be open to collaboration. I don’t think merging both sites is possible since we’re focusing on different topics, but maybe we can figure something out.

Should be fixed now. DB was down due to high traffic.

Added categories now so you can filter directly in the list.

Added longer description and major alternative when you hover over the cards. Hope that’ll make it easier to browse.

Sorry about that, had to enable attack mode temporarily to fight bots. Should be fine now.

When you hover over the card, it should show the most popular alternative now.

Done 👍

Thank you all for the comments and the feedback! I’ve implemented most of the things reported. You can now filter the self-hosted tools by category directly in the filters. Tool cards should now show more info about the product on hover (longer description and the most popular alternative).

If you see anything else to improve, let me know.

So sorry for all the errors! I got crazy traffic to the website and the database is not holding on as it should. Will have to upgrade the server very soon🫡

Didn’t know that. Do you have more info/source?

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

There are some affiliate links on the website, but the discounted products are not affiliated. I just reached out to the owners asking for an exclusive discount for paid plans.

There are categories on the website, but not directly on the list. But here is “full-text” search, so you could technically search by category or an alternative. Try “analytics” or “google analytics” for example.

Noted! I have longer descriptions in the db, but didn’t want to bloat the listings. Will try with a longer description soon.
