I have something similar at https://livelane.qubic-ventures.com. Started as a simple weekend project, but it’s becoming quite the headache. All sources are mainly from official government sites, which means many are very unreliable.
Some have public APIs, others require registration where it takes months to hear back.
I currently have about 30 ingestion scripts that more often than not break down.
I then also have an iOS app, but that ships with a bundled sqlite database.
I'm still working on https://openaltfinder.com; a place to help you discover open source alternatives. Got quite a lot of traction this month due to Google/Apple Maps renaming Lake Ontario.
But overall it's a struggle, the site is still in Google jail/sandbox, so it's not even seeing any Google impressions. So most traffic is due to being very active and posting wherever I can.
I think it will be difficult to compete with alternativeto.net which has a longstanding community, and options like filtering based on operating system. What are you doing which differentiates you?
The main differentiator is that I’m purely focussed on providing open source alternatives, whereas alternativeto does everything.
Having filters to better filter through the large list of alternatives is on my TODO list.
But in general, I think both (and many other directories) can co-exist without issues. I personally think alternativeto is a little mainstream anyway, whereas my directory is focussed on people who explicitly want to selfhost, but obviously there is overlap.
I'm still working on https://openaltfinder.com; a directory to help people discover open-source projects. Added quite a bit of new features over the last month, including a new weekly newsletter, and a way for people to find beginner friendly issues: https://openaltfinder.com/contribute
It's been tough, for some reason both Google and Bing completely erased my site from their indexes.
Another thing I'm working on: https://getpinnd.com - A small social network for map makers.
Personally I wouldn't use `@apply text-center` over just `text-aligh: center;`, but I do use `@apply text-red-300` or `@apply px-2`, simply because I like the set of defaults Tailwind comes with.
I tried building my own set of defaults, but eventually decided that just using the Tailwind ones is much easier.
I use @apply in quite a few projects, mainly because I like the defaults in tailwindcss. I know it defeats the point of tailwind, but I find that it works nicely when using BEM.
Nice. I tried to submit a project on the former. However CloudFlare seems to be blocking me from submitting the form.
This is a common issue for all of us in Viet Nam though, not sure if there's anything you can do your side. I'll figure out how to get my submission through later :)
Sorry about that, wasn't aware that this was an issue for people in Vietnam. If you want, you can direct email me at contact[at]openaltfinder[dot]com, or you can reply here with the project you wanted to submit.
