A curated list of the best open source software.

TL;DR: I accidentally deleted the old repository with 107 stars, and have moved the project to GitLab because GitHub requires a paid account to recover deleted repositories. I take full responsibility for this, it was an extremely stupid mistake on my part. I deeply apologize for the inconvenience. I understand if this damages the trust in the project.

I appreciate all the support you all have given towards the project, it truly means a lot to me! For those of you who bookmarked the repo, please update it to the new GitLab page which will now be actively maintained.

If you don’t know what Open Source Everything is, see my original post. It’s my own curated list of open source software.

Update: GitHub was able to restore the repository! Special thanks to Seve from GitHub Support for bending the rules a bit. GitLab will still be the primary place where the repository is hosted.

    Hey, your upfront, honest, no-excuses post goes a long way, in my opinion.

    Shit happens. We’ve all screwed things up - letting everyone know immediately what’s going on means we won’t guess when our shortcut doesn’t work, etc.

    Also thanks for the effort you put into this. It’s really helpful.

      Thank you! I tried my best to get things back on track ASAP, but GitHub’s support ticket system was in an outage at the time. I’m just happy to get it resolved.
