So I built a simple directory of open-source AI dev tools — ranked by actual GitHub stars, not vibes.</p> <p><strong>61 tools across 15 categories:</strong></p> <ul> <li>AI Coding Agents (OpenHands, OpenInterpreter)</li> <li>Browser Automation (browser-use, Skyvern)</li> <li>RAG &amp; Knowledge Base (RagFlow, AnythingLLM)</li> <li>Multi-Agent Frameworks (AutoGen, CrewAI, LangGraph)</li> <li>Image Generation (Stable Diffusion WebUI, ComfyUI)</li> <li>MCP &amp; Skills, LLM Runtime (Ollama, AutoGPT)</li> <li>Vector DB, Document Processing (MarkItDown), TTS, and more</li> </ul> <p>Each tool has its own page with stars, category, and related tools. Data pulled from GitHub API. There's also a search box to filter by name/description.</p> <p>Live: <a href="https://ai-dir-final.vercel.app" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://ai-dir-final.vercel.app</a><br> Open source: <a href="https://github.com/ardss/ai-dev-tools-directory" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/ardss/ai-dev-tools-directory</a></p> <p>I'd love feedback:</p> <ol> <li>Is the categorization sensible?</li> <li>What tools am I missing?</li> <li>Would a "best X for Y" comparison view be more useful than a flat directory?</li> </ol> <p>Be brutal — this is v1.</p> ai opensource devtools showdev
