What's an Open Source Project You Think Deserves More Support?

There are many open source projects out there and a lot of them act as alternatives for popular commercial platforms. Regardless of what functionalities they provide, they're powered by people who believe in the open source community and want to work with it to create great products for everyone to use.

What are some open source projects do you guys think developers should give more support too? Or what are just some of your favorites?

I personally have lots of love for Strapi. I know they're popular enough at this point but I still love giving them a shout out when possible 🫶🏻

I think Svelte has a lot of momentum, but doesn't have quite as much support as some of its peers

Svelte

Svelte is a free and open-source front end compiler created by Rich Harris and maintained by the Svelte core team members. Svelte is not a monolithic JavaScript library imported by applications: instead, Svelte compiles HTML templates to specialized code that manipulates the DOM directly, which may reduce the size of transferred files and give better client performance; application code is also processed by the compiler, inserting calls to automatically recompute data and re-render UI elements when the data they depend on is modified. This also avoids the overhead associated with runtime intermediate representations, such as virtual DOM, unlike traditional frameworks which carry out the bulk of their work at runtime, i.e in the browser. The compiler itself is written in TypeScript. Its source code is licensed under MIT License and hosted on GitHub.

sveltekit needs more traction

[Shahed Nasser]

That is very true. I still haven’t gotten into Svelte yet (I’m planning to at some point) but I do see a lot of people talking about it

[tzwel]

try it, it's VERY easy and gets stuff done quickly and is very performant, that's my dream framework

svelte.dev has an excellent tutorial about svelte (it's the official site)

if you need a framework for more complex projects (I find svelte best for SPAs) try sveltekit

Cool thanks for the tip!

The ones that are not owned by for-profit corporations.

We all know there are 2 types of open source projects out there:

1. The ones built by actual communities of developers.
2. The ones built by for-profit corporations, that use it as a Lead Magnet / Honeypot.

Benthos. More exposure is the best you can do for it.

Trousseau is an open-source project leveraging the Kubernetes KMS provider framework to connect with Key Management Services the Kubernetes native way. It supports Hashicorp Vault at the moment, would be nice to support others as well, to turn Kubernetes secrets to encrypted ones for production usage.

Lit js (lit.dev) and Appwrite in my opinion.Both are great projects definitely worth trying out.
