Self-hosted alternatives to popular software

Hey — It's Piotr,

A lot of good things are happening around open source community at the moment. People wake up to the fact that in the AI era, keeping code private doesn't give you the edge it used to.

New open source projects are popping up daily, with companies like Gumroad jumping on board - they're planning to share their entire codebase this year. Even more exciting, open source AI models are starting to outperform their closed-source competitors. It's awesome to watch this shift happen and play a small role in the movement.

This time, I've curated a fresh collection of open source projects and exciting updates from the community.

Enjoy!

New on OpenAlternative ✨

Recognizing that not all open source projects are designed for self-hosting, I decided to create a comprehensive resource that brings these tools together in one place. After some research, I've compiled a list of over 150 projects here: https://openalternative.co/self-hosted

Got a project in mind that should be included? Just reply to this email or submit a new entry through our website.
