This looks super useful!<p>One suggestion - it might be nice to weight projects with recent commits highly -- some of the projects listed haven&#x27;t seen any activity in a while. A lack of recent activity is not <i>always</i> associated with issues, but it can be.

Hi HN,<p>OSS Database is a crowdsourced database of Open Source alternatives to popular software. I am building this database so people can search and filter open-source alternatives easily. Do let me know what you think.<p>Built using: - Rails - Postgres - Redis - StimulusJS

First impression is the lack of OSS business apps.<p>For example --- payroll. Every business with employees needs this. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.<p>No way most businesses could survive with just Open Source.

Congratulations on the Show HN! You may want to pre-seed your site with the existing listings from AlternativeTo.net, e.g. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alternativeto.net&#x2F;software&#x2F;quicken&#x2F;?license=opensource" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alternativeto.net&#x2F;software&#x2F;quicken&#x2F;?license=opensour...</a> since there&#x27;s a network effect one needs to overcome in order to start getting contributions

I was hoping to find anything good enough to replace Jira, but no results :(
