This list is an absolute gem in finding what are the trending state-of-the-art open source programs. I have found so many cool open source projects I feel addicted to browsing more…

This website is filled with AI slop just use alternativeto.net what is wrong with them, they also have a great news page for projects on there
Thx, but I’ll stay with alternativeto.net. At least that one is not an ad in a trenchcoat.
^this
I don’t need the tool giving me its opinion. I usually use alternativeto.net to find more open alternatives, but if someone has tried open source and is looking for proprietary solutions, doesn’t hurt me to see all options presented reasonably fairly.

Over half of the first 20 items focus on AI, and that’s not even considering the ads.
Number 1 is Zed but it’s not actually an “AI editor”, they’re just leaning into it a bit for funding. Its a fully open source Rust editor made by the former Atom developers and I highly recommend it as a replacement for Microsoft’s VSCode. A good selling point is that its not just another electron app and has a native UI. On first startup, they even offer you the option to fully disable any AI features
If you do want to enable AI, they’ve worked hard to allow you to use your own self hosted model
Why replace VSCode is it’s also open source? (VSCodium)
Less Microsoft and a native UI. Microsoft is already making it hard to use alternative releases of VSCode like Codium by restricting them from using their extension marketplace and things like Pylance (their newer, more advanced proprietary Python LSP that replaces Pyright). Try to even download a .vsix extension from Microsoft’s site - you can’t because they don’t offer the ability to anymore without VSCode
Zed also openly integrates with LSP so you can use servers like basedpyright and get a more featurefull editor than Code
edit: I realise I sound like a Zed salesman but I really like it lol

Shall I make you some popcorn too?
Any Monty Python jokes aside, I like AlternativeTo to find good software (even if they’re not AI-powered)

Alright, AI, AI, AI!Come on in AI lovers!Here at the Titty Twister we’re slashing AI in half!Give us an offer on our vast selection of AI, this is a AI blow out!Alright, we got white AI, black AI, Spanish AI, yellow AI.

I’m curious to the apps anybody has found actual value in the apps on this list. I cannot believe that so many “we put AI in your _____” apps are at the top of this list.

Are there any good trip planners alternatives to Google maps? The amount of information I can find on G Maps is crazy. Transit schedule, time, popular locations nearby (even categorised by type such as shopping, restaurants, hotels etc.)
Almost all alternatives will be based on Open Street Map (OSM), and your mileage will very on the amount of detail from your local contributors. The two I primarily use are:
CoMaps (community fork of Organic Maps) has a clean intuitive interface and a decent router algorithm. Lots of developer energy and good community governance. Offline first, allows some OSM editing, quick to load and routing. Downsides are its limited feature set and configuration.
OsmAnd is a bit older but includes more routing options, near full OSM point of interests (POIs, locations like stores, buildings, etc) editing options, shows more POI types (configurable but can get noisy), has optional Mapillary (community Streetview style project unfortunately ran by Meta) integration, optional weather data, over and under layers from other sources, and optionally incorporates Wikipedia and Wikivoyage data filling in some gaps. Its interface is a bit more clunky, and somewhat slower, but it does a lot. Get the OSMAnd~ version from Fdroid, which has most of the “pro” (paid) version but without Google services. The actual paid version does have Google reviews and more POI search engine, but you’re using Google again.
Both are offline first but also both suffer from no review system integrations or traffic integrations (no Waze/GMaps reporting of slow downs or speed traps).
After testing a bunch I am now using HERE WeGo maps a lot. Less detailed on local shops and restaurants but has some reviews, opening hours etc Has great route planning including for bike and public transport.
More free would be CoMaps but that’s really mostly grey’s mapping and turn-by-turn and very little info on shops apart from them existing.
Maps by Gnome is decent. https://apps.gnome.org/Maps/
I use both google mapy and Organic maps, while the organic maps do not have all the information google has, for simple trips and finding restaurants (no reviews) it’s perfect. Just simple and not cluttered maps with offline maps.
You should probably check Comaps instead of Organic Maps.
Agree with you completely, but the explanation is probably in order.
CoMaps is a fairly recent fork of Organic Maps. There were questions being raised about Organic’s governance - dodgy partnerships, misuse of funds, not being truly open-source due to keeping core libraries private - and so CoMaps was created to ‘do it properly’. The app functionality is basically exactly the same, so moving over is completely painless.
