Hello Lemmy!

I’m excited to celebrate the 100th release of my project, Open Source Everything! Open Source Everything is my own curated list of open source (or at least source-available) software. It started out with a bit of a bumpy start, even being deleted at one point, but the project is still going strong!

Over the past 4 months, the project has seen releases, both big and small, but it has grown so much since its initial release. It started out with a small list of 128 software I’d kept on my phone for months, but since then it has over doubled, and now has almost 300 pieces of software listed! It’s truly inspiring to see the community come together and help the list out, so thank you very much to everyone who suggested software and contributed to the list!

With that said, the list has a long way to go. There are many sections that need improvement, and many mistakes to be fixed. I try to focus on quality over quantity, which means a lot of the software needs to be personally tested before I can definitively make sure that it belongs on the list. Of course, that’s difficult for one person to achieve. I kindly ask for community feedback on software listed there, and if you feel there is a better alternative, please let me know!

I’m also considering moving Open Source Everything to a website structure, since I’m currently limited by the functionality of a markdown file. If there’s some way to do inline tables and rounded images in a markdown file, let me know. Otherwise, I’ll start working on creating a website for it.

Finally, if you’re a good SVG artist, many of the software logos don’t have high quality svg options available (or some SVGs, like Wikipedia, are broken for whatever reason). I would appreciate anyone with the skills available to help replace all PNG images with SVG counterparts, especially projects that are missing logos.

Thank you so much all of you, and I hope to make 2025 a great year for Open Source Everything!

P.S. Open Source Everything is hosted on GitLab, and mirrored on GitHub. I’m linking to the GitHub version because it supports slightly better formatting and header links are broken on GitLab due to a bug.
