Hey 👋, welcome back to our biweekly newsletter! After Black Friday and Cyber Monday, many projects have launched new features and improvements. It's exciting to see so many innovations debuting within the same week 🤯.

  • We listened to your feedback! Some companies have asked how they can promote their products in our community, so we created this page with all the information you need!

  • We are working hard to curate more open-source alternatives to paid software. Here are some of the new tools we've added as free alternatives to popular software like ChatGPT, Resend or Clerk.

Supabase is an open-source backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platform that helps developers build scalable applications faster. Powered by PostgreSQL, Supabase offers features like real-time database synchronization, authentication, storage for files, and auto-generated APIs—all in one platform. Its integration with modern front-end tools makes it ideal for startups, enterprises, and solo developers alike.

Unlike competitors such as Firebase, Supabase embraces open standards and transparency by being fully open source. This means you have full control over your data, can self-host the platform, and benefit from an active developer community. Supabase's SQL-based approach leverages PostgreSQL's advanced capabilities, ensuring flexibility and scalability.

Being open source, Supabase fosters trust, customizability, and a collaborative ecosystem. Whether you're prototyping an app or scaling a production-ready service, Supabase is the go-to solution for developers who value performance, openness, and developer experience.

A sophisticated collection of components designed for creating interactive roadmaps. Built with accessibility and performance in mind, this toolkit leverages shadcn/ui to deliver professional-grade roadmap functionality inspired by industry leaders.

A powerful open-source API development ecosystem that streamlines testing and development with features like real-time requests, multiple protocols support, and advanced testing capabilities. The lightweight platform helps developers create requests faster.

Revolutionary design and prototyping platform that bridges the gap between designers and developers through open standards and seamless collaboration. The innovative open-source solution enables creation of stunning designs with ready-to-use code.

That’s all for today; see you in two weeks! And remember, if you have an open-source project, you can submit it here. If it matches our guidelines, we will add it for free to our directory.
