Best GitHub Repositories to Submit Your Black Friday Deals in 2026

Vinish Bhaskar — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 11:27:57 +0000

GitHub deal lists are one of the few free places where developers look for Black Friday discounts. A merged pull request puts your product in front of people who are already shopping for tools.

This post lists 11 public repositories that accept Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2026 deals, or did in 2025. For each one you get what it accepts, its current activity, and the exact steps to submit.

Black Friday 2026 is on November 27. Cyber Monday is on November 30. Submit early, because most of these lists merge in order of arrival.

Last checked: November 11, 2026. Stars, open pull requests and last commit dates come from each repository's GitHub page on that day.

How I picked these repositories

I opened each repository in a browser on November 11, 2026, and recorded stars, open pull requests and the last commit.
I kept only repositories with commits in 2025 or 2026.
I removed forks and copies of other lists. Several repos with "black friday" in the name are forks of the ones below.
I read each README, CONTRIBUTING file and pull request template to get the submission rules.

Rules: The README asks advertisers to star the repo first. Low-quality products may be removed or reordered.

How to Write a Pull Request That Gets Merged

The same mistakes get pull requests closed across all of these repositories. Avoid them.

Match the list's scope. Tony Dinh's list rejects boilerplates. InfoSec Black Friday takes only security products. Read the README before you fork.
Add one row at the end of one category. Almost every list merges in arrival order. Inserting higher up or sorting the table causes conflicts.
Change only your row. Do not align columns, run a formatter or fix other people's typos in the same pull request.
Copy the row format exactly. Count the columns. Use the list's own emoji legend and date format.
Link the official page. Use the product's pricing or Black Friday page. Some lists close pull requests that contain affiliate or tracking links.
State the real offer. Give the discount, the code (or "no code needed"), the plan it applies to, the dates and any limits such as "new customers only".
Keep the description to one plain sentence. Say what the product does and where it runs. Skip words like "best" and "revolutionary".
Run the scripts when the repo has them. Lists that build from YAML or JSON expect the validate and build commands to pass.
Update your branch before you submit. If a conflicting pull request merges first, rebase and keep your row at the bottom.
Use a clear title. "Add ProductName (Developer Tools)" tells the maintainer what to check.

FAQ

When are Black Friday and Cyber Monday in 2026?

Black Friday is on Friday, November 27, 2026. Cyber Monday is on Monday, November 30, 2026.

Is it free to list a deal in these repositories?

Yes. All 11 repositories accept community pull requests at no cost. Some also sell sponsored spots at the top of the README, which are separate from the free list.

Can I submit the same deal to several repositories?

Yes. Each repository is independent. Adjust the row to each list's format and category names.

Do I need a GitHub account?

For a pull request, yes. Pimjo and twf-nikhila also accept deals through a form, and tushargugnani accepts them on blackfridaydeals.dev.

How long does review take?

It depends on the list. Pimjo's README says 24 to 48 hours. Tony Dinh's list had 90 open pull requests on November 11, 2026, so expect a longer wait there.

Why was my pull request closed?

The most common reasons in these rules are: the product is out of scope, the row is in the wrong place or format, other rows were changed, the link is not official, or the deal could not be checked.

Can I add a 2025 deal?

No. Every list here asks for active or upcoming offers. Update the code and dates for 2026 before you submit.

Final Thoughts

If you build developer tools, SaaS or AI products, start with Pimjo's list. It has categories for AI Tools and Automation and for Dev Tools and SaaS, and it takes templates and boilerplates that Tony Dinh's list declines. Its README says the team reviews submissions within 24 to 48 hours, and it had 8 open pull requests on November 11, 2026, compared with 90 on Tony Dinh's list. If you do not use GitHub, you can send your deal through its form instead.

Then submit to the larger lists whose scope matches your product. Tony Dinh's and mRs-'s lists give the most reach. Smaller curated lists such as rare-big-deal and verified-black-friday have stricter rules, but they add a product page or a dated record of your price.

If you know another active repository that takes 2026 deals, share it in the comments and I will check it for the next update.

Nivon: Build AI Customer Agents for Every Interaction

Vinish Bhaskar — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 11:39:12 +0000

Today I'm going to show you how we cut the support tickets that reach a human by 73%.

In 45 days.

Without hiring anyone.

We did it with an AI agent that answers from our own docs. We ran it in production on two of our products. And today we're releasing it as Nivon.AI.

TL;DR: Nivon lets you build an AI agent trained on your site, docs, and past tickets. It answers what your content covers and hands the rest to your team. There's a free plan and no per-seat pricing.

Here's the full story.

What Is Nivon?

Nivon is a platform for building AI agents for your website. It's made by Pimjo.

You connect your content. The agent answers customer questions from that content and nothing else.

(It can also qualify leads before a chat starts.)

And when a question isn't covered?

The agent doesn't make something up. It hands the conversation to your team with the full thread attached.

Why We Built It

If you've shipped a product, you know this one.

At Pimjo we've shipped more than a dozen. And they all fed the same support queue.

Here's what was in that queue:

"How do refunds work?"
"Do you integrate with X?"
"Where do I find my API key?"

Over and over. Across every product.

The frustrating part?

Every answer was already in our docs. Customers still waited hours for a human to paste a link.

So we tried to fix it.

Attempt #1: More people.

We pulled teammates from other departments into the queue.

It kept growing. More people can close more tickets per day. But they can't change how many tickets come in.

Attempt #2: A chatbot.

It answered with full confidence.

It was also wrong. A lot.

And here's what we learned: a wrong answer is worse than no answer. A customer with no reply waits. A customer with a wrong reply acts on it, breaks something, and opens a second ticket.

Attempt #3: A bigger support plan.

Then we looked at the invoice.

Our bill went up from the year before. Our customer count didn't. The difference was seats. More people at the company needed access, and the tool billed us for every one.

That's when it clicked:

Support volume scales with how much product you ship. Support tools charge for how many people you employ.

Those two numbers have nothing to do with each other.

What Changed

Scripted bots break the moment a question leaves the script.

Help centers go stale the moment you ship a change.

So what's different now?

Accuracy.

Today's models can answer from a fixed set of documents that you control. They don't have to pull from whatever they picked up in training.

Which means an agent can do two things a scripted bot never could:

Stay inside your content.
Know when your content doesn't have the answer.

That second one is the whole game.

How Nivon Works

Here's the flow:

Step #1: You connect your content.

Website, docs, FAQs, past tickets. That becomes the agent's knowledge base, and its only source.

Step #2: The agent reads the full thread.

Every message, not just the last one. Your customers never have to repeat themselves.

Step #3: It resolves routine questions on its own.

Start to finish. Nobody on your team touches them.

Step #4: It stops when it doesn't know.

No guessing. The agent says it can't confirm the answer.

Step #5: It hands off with context.

The chat becomes a ticket with the full conversation attached. Whoever picks it up already knows what was asked and what the agent said.

Step #6: It shows you the gaps in your docs.

Every handoff is a question your content didn't cover. Add the answer once and the agent handles it from then on.

In other words: your docs get better every time the agent gets stuck.

The Results: 45 Days in Production

We weren't going to ask you to put an agent in front of your customers before we'd done it ourselves.

So we ran Nivon on Aymo AI and Meku.dev for 45 days.

Here's what happened:

Metric	Result
Tickets that reached a human	Down 73%
Time to first response	15 minutes down to 6
Widget chats resolved without a human	80%

Now, a quick caveat. (Because you should always ask how a number was measured.)

These metrics measure different things.

Most of the 73% drop came from customers using the chat widget instead of filing a ticket at all. The 80% is the share of those widget chats that the agent closed alone.

Also: these are our numbers. They aren't a benchmark.

Yours will depend on how complete your docs are and what your customers ask.

What You Can Configure

This is the part I think developers will care about most.

Sources: Crawl a site or sitemap. Upload documents. Import from Google Drive or OneDrive. Add FAQs, paste raw text, or import old tickets.
Model per agent: Pick from 25+ models across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI. Swap any time.
Guardrails: You define what the agent handles, what it refuses, what it never shares, and when it escalates.
Workspaces: Separate agents, knowledge, and conversations per product or team, with admin and member roles.
Internal vs. external agents: Separate knowledge bases for staff and customers. Your internal policy never shows up in a customer chat.
Allowed domains: Each agent only runs on the sites you assign.
Chat First or Lead First: Answer right away, or qualify the visitor first.
95+ languages: The agent replies in whatever language the customer writes in.
Analytics: Conversation volume, resolution rate, response time, and customer location.

What's not ready yet?

Slack, GitHub, and Telegram integrations are in progress. Notion is in review. You can track all of it on the roadmap.

Pricing (With Zero Per-Seat Fees)

Here's the problem with per-seat pricing:

Teams start limiting who gets an account to keep the bill down. And the people who get cut are usually the ones closest to the customer.

So Nivon charges by support volume instead.

Plan	Price (billed yearly)	Credits/month	Team members
Free	$0	150	1
Starter	$9/mo	3,000	3
Growth	$29/mo	12,000	5
Business	$59/mo	30,000	15

Each plan also caps agents, workspaces, and training pages. The pricing page has the full limits.

And the free plan?

It never expires. No card required.

What About Your Data?

Fair question. Here's the short version:

Content and conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest.
Every workspace is isolated.
Nothing you send trains an AI model. Not ours. Not anyone else's.

Nivon meets GDPR, CCPA, and ISO 27001 level requirements. SOC 2 Type II is in progress, and we'll publish the report when it's done.

More detail is on the data security page.

Do You Have to Ditch Your Helpdesk?

Nope.

Nivon sits on your website and takes the questions that never needed a human. Everything else lands with your team as a ticket, in the tools they already use.

No migration. No new ticketing system to learn.

If your helpdesk works, keep it.

Build Your First AI Support Agent With Nivon

Here's the bottom line:

Repeat questions are a documentation problem. They aren't a staffing problem.

Nivon turns the content you already have into an AI customer support agent. The agent answers from your knowledge base. It hands off to a human when it can't. And every handoff tells you which answer to write next.

That's the approach that cut our human-handled tickets by 73% in 45 days.

Want to test it on your own product?

Create a free account at nivon.ai. No card required.
Connect your website, docs, FAQs, or past support tickets.
Follow the quickstart guide to build and launch your agent.

Running customer support across several products or a bigger team? Talk to us and we'll help you scope it.

What's Your Most Repeated Support Question?

Every product has one.

Ours was "Where do I find my API key?"

Tell me yours in the comments, and whether your docs already answer it.

We Built a RAG Chatbot for Customer Support That Cut Tickets by 73%

Vinish Bhaskar — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 05:01:02 +0000

Our team at Pimjo runs more than a dozen products. Support tickets kept asking the same things: how refunds work, how an integration connects, where to find an API key. Every answer already existed in our documentation. Customers still waited hours for someone to send them a link.

We tried a chatbot first. It answered confidently and often wrongly. A wrong answer with no source is worse than no answer, because the customer acts on it and then writes in again.

What worked was a RAG chatbot or AI support agent chatbot that answers only from our own content and hands off when it can't. This post explains how that pattern works, what a support bot needs beyond basic retrieval, and the numbers we saw over 45 days.

What a RAG chatbot is

RAG stands for retrieval-augmented generation. It splits answering into two steps:

Retrieve: When a question arrives, the system searches your content (docs, FAQs, past tickets) for the passages most related to it.
Generate: The language model receives those passages along with the question and writes an answer based on them.

A plain chatbot built on a language model answers from whatever it learned during training. It knows nothing about the pricing change you made last week. A RAG chatbot answers from a set of documents you control. Update the documents, and the answers change with them.

Why the other options failed us

Scripted bots work inside their decision trees. Ask something slightly different, and they produce a fluent answer with nothing behind it. They also can't pass a hard question to a person.

Static help centers are correct on the day you write them. Change your pricing, and the old article keeps showing last quarter's numbers until someone remembers to edit it.

Hiring raises cost in a straight line, but repeat questions keep arriving at the same rate. You buy capacity, not resolution.

Retrieval is not enough for support

Retrieval puts the right passage in front of the model. A customer-facing bot needs a few more rules around it:

Refuse when the content has no answer. If retrieval finds nothing relevant, the bot should say it can't confirm the answer instead of guessing.
Hand off with the full thread. When the bot stops, a person should receive a ticket containing the whole conversation, so the customer doesn't repeat the problem.
Read the whole conversation. A follow-up like "what about the annual plan?" only makes sense with the earlier messages.
Set an explicit scope. Define what the bot handles, what it refuses, what it never shares, and when it escalates.
Keep internal content separate. Run a different agent with its own knowledge base for staff, so internal policy never reaches a customer.
Restrict where the bot runs. Allowed-domain rules keep each agent on the sites you assign it to.
Treat handoffs as a to-do list. Each escalation points to a gap in your docs. Add the missing answer, and the bot handles that question next time.

What we measured over 45 days

We built these rules into Nivon.AI and ran it in production on two of our products, Aymo AI and Meku.dev, for 45 days before offering it to anyone else. Across both products:

Tickets reaching a person dropped by 73%.
Time to first response went from 15 minutes to 6 minutes.
The agent resolved 80% of chat widget conversations without a person.

These numbers measure different things. Most of the ticket drop came from customers using the chat widget instead of filing a ticket. The 80% figure covers only the conversations that happened in the widget.

They are our own numbers, not an industry benchmark. Your results depend on how complete your documentation is and what your customers ask.

Try it with Nivon.AI

Nivon is the support agent that came out of this work. Setup takes minutes and doesn't require a developer.

Knowledge sources: Crawl a website or sitemap, upload documents, import from Google Drive or OneDrive, add FAQs, paste text, or import past support tickets.
Model choice: Pick from 25+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI for each agent. Switch at any time.
Languages: The agent replies in the language the customer writes in, across 95+ languages.
Chat First or Lead First: Choose whether the agent answers questions right away or qualifies the visitor first.
Workspaces: Separate agents, conversations, and knowledge by team or product, with admin and member roles.
Analytics: Track conversation volume, resolution rate, response time, and where customers write from.

Nivon runs alongside your existing helpdesk. Anything the agent can't resolve becomes a ticket with the conversation attached, so there is nothing to migrate.

Data handling

Content and conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest, and each workspace is isolated. Nothing you send is used to train any AI model. Nivon meets GDPR, CCPA, and ISO 27001-level requirements. SOC 2 Type II compliance is in progress.

Pricing

Plans are priced by support volume, not per seat.

Plan	Price (billed yearly)	Credits per month	Team members
Free	$0	150	1
Starter	$9/mo	3,000	3
Growth	$29/mo	12,000	5
Business	$59/mo	30,000	15

Each plan also caps the number of agents, workspaces, and training pages. The free plan does not expire and needs no card.

Integrations

Google Drive and OneDrive are live. Slack, GitHub, and Telegram are in progress, and Notion is in review. Current status is on the roadmap.

Before you add any RAG chatbot

Check your docs first. List the ten questions your team answers most often and confirm each answer exists in writing. A RAG chatbot can only be as accurate as the content it retrieves.

10+ Best All-in-One AI Platforms for Developers and Teams

Vinish Bhaskar — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 04:30:35 +0000

Context switching kills productivity, especially in AI-driven workflows. Here are the best all-in-one AI platforms helping devs unify their stack, models, and flow.

An all-in-one AI platform gives you GPT, Claude, Gemini, and other models in one app with one subscription. Aymo AI is the pick for teams: 65+ models, side-by-side answers from up to six models, and shared team memory. Monica suits personal work across browser, mobile, and desktop.

If you’re a developer, you’ve probably hit this wall lately: too many AI tools, not enough focus.

You start your day in ChatGPT, jump into Claude for deeper reasoning, maybe Gemini for quick research, and before lunch, you’ve got five tabs open and zero flow left. Every tool promises to make you faster, but switching between them? That’s where productivity dies.

We’ve all been there.

The truth is, AI has become powerful… but fragmented. Every model’s great at one thing: code generation, analysis, and summarization, yet none of them can handle everything in your workflow.

That’s why developers and teams are moving toward all-in-one AI platforms where GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek work within a single workspace with shared context.

In this post, we’ll break down the 10+ best all-in-one AI platforms for developers and teams in 2026. The tools that actually help you ship faster, collaborate smoothly, and spend less time managing tabs.

FAQs

How is an AI aggregator different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT gives you OpenAI models. An AI aggregator, or multi-model AI platform, gives you models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others in one app. You can switch models in the same chat or compare their answers side by side.

Does an all-in-one AI platform save money?

Usually, yes. Separate plans for ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini cost about $20/month each. Most all-in-one platforms cover all of them with one subscription, which also cuts subscription fatigue.

Is an all-in-one AI platform safe for business data?

It depends on the platform. Check that your data is not used for training, that it is encrypted, and that the team workspace has access controls. Aymo AI, for example, never uses your chats, prompts, or files to train AI models.

Conclusion

If there’s one thing I’ve learned building with AI tools every day, it’s that the tech isn’t the hard part. The context-switching is.

That’s why these all-in-one AI platforms stand out. They cut the noise, bring every model into one workspace, and help you stay focused instead of tab-hopping.

Each platform excels in a specific area:

Aymo AI for deep collaboration
Monica and EaseMate for daily productivity
WritingMate and Mammouth AI for experimentation and analysis
Merlin and GlobalGPT for creation and media work
Poe, Magai, and Sider.ai for model switching, research, and automation

No-Code Tools: Drag-and-drop editors for apps/websites. Faster for non-technical users, but limited customization & vendor lock-in.

Examples: Bubble, Wix AI, Glide.

Key Difference: AI builders = speed + ownership. No-code = simplicity + limitations.

FAQs

1. What’s the best AI web app builder in 2026?

Meku for full-stack ownership, v0 for frontend, Bolt/Replit for browser-based coding, Lovable for quick MVPs.

2. Can AI web app builders handle enterprise apps?

Yes. Meku and Softgen AI support auth, payments, scaling, and databases.

3. Do you own the code?

How to Build and Launch AI SaaS Product Faster with AI Starter Kit

Vinish Bhaskar — Thu, 10 Jul 2025 04:54:33 +0000

AI Starter Kit is a Next.js boilerplate for AI SaaS apps. It ships with sign-in, Stripe subscriptions, a user dashboard, and AI modules for text, images, video, and code. There is a free open-source version, and paid licenses start at $99 one-time.

Want to launch your own AI SaaS product... but don’t want to spend weeks (or months) setting up billing, auth, and AI integrations?

You’re not alone.

I recently ran into the same challenge while trying to build a GPT-powered tool. Setting up Stripe, auth flows, dashboards, and AI APIs from scratch was a time sink.

That’s when I discovered a better approach: using a full-stack AI SaaS Starter Kit built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS.

In this post, I’ll show you:

How to skip the boilerplate grind
What features you actually need to launch an AI SaaS
And how to go from idea to deployment in days using AIStarterKit

Let’s dive in.

Why Most Devs Fail to Launch Their AI SaaS

Building an AI-powered product sounds fun — until you hit the real dev work.

Here’s what a typical AI SaaS setup looks like:

✅ Auth system (email + OAuth)
✅ Stripe billing for subscriptions
✅ Database config (PostgreSQL or Prisma/Drizzle)
✅ AI API integration (OpenAI, Midjourney, etc.)
✅ Dashboard, pricing, 404, settings pages
✅ Email flows, i18n, SEO, and more

That’s 2–4 weeks of boilerplate — before writing a single line of product logic.

What If You Could Skip All That?

Imagine starting with:

Auth flows built with Auth.js v5
Stripe billing is already set up
AI APIs (OpenAI) integrated via Vercel AI SDK
Pre-built user dashboard, blog, pricing, and error pages
Clean, responsive Tailwind CSS UI
PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM
Lifetime updates, no monthly fees
Pages like Dashboard, Blog, Sign In
Email flows like a password reset

No configuration hell. No third-party platform lock-in. Just code, ship, and scale.

That’s exactly what AIStarterKit gives you.

It’s a production-ready AI SaaS starter kit built for devs who want to ship fast. The current version runs on Next.js 16 (App Router), React 19, Tailwind CSS v4, Auth.js v5, and PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM.

Let’s See What’s Inside

Here’s a breakdown of what you get (without writing 500 config files):

Full Auth System

Email + password signup
Google OAuth (and more providers are possible)
Forgot password flow (pre-wired)
JWT session handling
Input validation and user feedback

Stripe Billing (Subscriptions Included)

Stripe Checkout built-in
Pre-designed pricing page
Stripe recurring billing
Subscription tiers
Webhook handling for subscription changes
Downloadable invoices + current plan views

User Panel (Production-Ready)

Sidebar navigation
Profile management (change name/email/password)
Subscription view
Billing Management
Placeholder panels for AI tool UIs (chat, generation, etc.)

AI Tool Templates (Ready to Use)

Blog generator
Email generator
Image generator
Video generator
Code assistant
Chat history with streaming UI

Built using Vercel AI SDK — works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, and more. ( You can quickly set up on your own in a few clicks)

Pre-built Essentials Pages

Sign-in / Sign-up / Forgot Password
Dashboard
Billing
Pricing
404 / Error pages
Blog (Markdown-based)

Backend and Database

PostgreSQL configured
Drizzle ORM is ready
Models for users, sessions, and subscriptions
Chat history, subscriptions, and users stored

Transactional Emails

Password reset links
Email verification
Welcome Email
Billing notifications
SMTP or Resend (plug your own credentials)

i18n & Multi-Language Support ( On Roadmap )

Language toggle support
Route localization
Translation-ready components

SEO-Ready Public Pages

Pricing
Blog (Markdown enabled)
Terms & Privacy
404 and error pages
With meta tags, sitemap-ready structure, and Head components for SEO.

Example Use Case: Text Generator

Let’s say you want to build a Blog Post Generator using GPT-4.

With AIStarterKit, you can:

Use the pre-built /text-generator page
Hook into the OpenAI API with one function
Store user sessions and generation history in PostgreSQL
Accept payments via Stripe for “pro” features
Deploy to Vercel or your own server

From idea to launch in 2–3 days instead of 2–3 weeks.

Who Should Use the AI Starter Kit?

This self-hosted starter kit is perfect for:

Developers building AI tools or GPT apps
Indie hackers launching new SaaS ideas
Agencies creating MVPs for clients
Startups testing product-market fit fast

And because it’s self-hosted with a commercial license, you own everything — no vendor lock-in.

Final Thoughts:

Don’t Build Everything From Scratch

If you’re serious about launching your AI SaaS app in 2026, don’t waste time recreating from scratch.

Instead of building auth, billing, and dashboards from zero, use a proven stack that helps you ship fast.

👉 Try the Live Demo

👉 One-time payment (Starter $99, Business $169, Extended $399. Lifetime updates. Full control.)
