LibHunt

About

LibHunt is a directory of open-source projects and software libraries for developers who want to find packages and their alternatives. It monitors Reddit, HackerNews and Dev.to almost in real time and records when an open-source repository is mentioned, then uses those mentions to compile lists of popular and similar projects. Founders can add a project from the Submit a project page by entering a repo URL, for example a GitHub link. The pages do not state a listing fee, a review time, an account requirement or whether links are dofollow. Paid promotion is sold separately as sponsor packages with site-wide ads, newsletter features and a footer logo. LibHunt lists are licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.

How to submit

Open the Submit a project page and enter the repo URL of the open-source project, for example a GitHub link.
