AlternativeTo is one of the things that really got me into computers back in 2010.. There are so much shitty software out there and the default software often suck - discovering delightful alternatives got me excited and it grew from there.. :)
Astonishing that they haven't been hunted yet. Especially since it shares one of my most favorite uses cases with PH. Finding all the popular alternatives/products for a specific app. Always check AlternativeTo as well as PH when I look for a product and what options I have (for example text editors).
@gabriel__lewis What do you mean? What did you assume? (LOL, never mind, got it. It's still early in Europe ^^)
Actually I think it solves the "give me all options to one tool" still better than PH. I actually struggled a bit with finding all the text/code editors that are being used on PH. At AlternativeTo I just had to search for one tool I know to find a lot of other options (http://alternativeto.net/softwar...).
@chdrakon I'm guessing because they've been around for ages and ages. Normally PH is only newish products, though a few exceptions like this sneak through.
@chdrakon alternativeTo has not been hunted yet? Wow, this is very astonishing. Using it since... can't even remember how long. Feels like a decade.
AlternativeTo is better than product hunt, but PH has more energy invested in it and a better design language.
I love it and have discovered wonderful alternatives many times. @chdrakon, I see some potential partnership between Alternativeto and PH.
Been using it for ages. I always thought it was posted before, given the popularity.
There is no quality control there and loads and loads of spurious 'alternatives'. Without curation it is almost worthless.
yep, I love alternativeTo too. I use it all the time to compare SAAS offerings. Such a simple idea, but very well executed.
