  • Alternatives?
    Just recently I created a post showcasing a library I wrote and the first comment was: there is this other package that does that already. Sure it does, sort of, but its not a silver bullet just as pretty much anything. For applications there are platforms like https://alternativeto.net/ where people can vote for/against them, suggest alternatives and describe the differences between them. I've googled for...

  • Twos - a simple todo app
    I stumbled upon this great looking Todo app named "Twos" on my quest to find a suitable self-hostable todo app. The app is tagged as "self-hosted" on alternativeto.net, but it is not (yet) self-hostable. According to the devs "self-hosting" is on their rodmap, but currently not prioritized due to a low number of votes. Source: 7 months ago
  • Scrolling broken: no xmouse alternative?
    My scroll wheel has been broken for a while now (scrolling almost completly randomly), and on windows I used to use something called xmouse. How the thing worked was when I held a selected button it would change movement to scroll by scrolling in the direction and locking cursor position. Wine with it does not work. I also tried: looking thru alternatives on alternativeto, making my own python script and input... Source: 7 months ago

    Only use Google, for what you absolutely need to. When possible, use alternatives. LibreTube, Protonmail, Searx or DuckDuckGo as search engines, etc. Look tools in privacyguides.org or alternativeto.net. Many of this apps are better, than Google counterparts (LibreTube has no ads, returns dislikes, and has sponsorblock, but you can't comment or log into Google). Source: 10 months ago

  • I'm thinking of moving from windows to Linux. What should I expect?
    If you’re using specific programs for art/design/video editing, you may not be able to use the programs you’re used to. If something you normally use isn’t available on Linux, there’s almost always an alternative you can try out. Sometimes there’s ways to set up Windows-only programs through something called WINE, but that’s not always a guarantee. I always recommend at least getting familiar with Linux-native...

  • SP9 or Tab Galaxy S8+ ?
    The big question here is whether Android/OneUI will work with the software experience you've set up for yourself or if it can offer a similar one of it's own. I don't think I can answer that one for you, but as long as the apps you're currently using are available on the Play Store or Galaxy store, or you can find a suitable alternative on alternativeto.net then you should be able to use the S8+ without many issues.

77,686 approved products
Last week I added a new dynamic data point to the homepage of SaaSHub - the number of all approved products. As of now, there are a total of 77,686 approved products. It may not seem much, but it's just 5,000 behind one of my top competitors - AlternativeTo. Of course, the number of listed products isn't paramount. What is most important is the quality of the suggested alternatives and content in general. And, I...
Postgres Trigram indexes VS Algolia
One of the top competitors of SaaSHub - alternativeto.net is using Algolia for their search autocomplete. I'd suggest testing their search and SaaSHub's. You won't find many differences in the UX or speed.
Does it make sense to have a monthly subscription for a premium listing in a software marketplace? : Entrepreneur
The second option I'm considering is accepting sponsorships and displaying sponsors' logos at the bottom of most pages. I just don't want to clutter the site with "regular" ads. For example, one of my biggest competitors is "AlternativeTo.net" and their UI is a bit cluttered and "noisy".
