  • Good overview. There are quite a few on there I was not aware of. That said, I am not sure the organizational schema makes a tone of sense. I would assume most users that come across this would be looking for a package manager for a specific platform and then weighing the options of binary/source/etc., instead of the other way around.

    Also, pipx (https://github.com/pypa/pipx) would be a good addition to the list. I'd add it but I'm not sure where it would go. Maybe every section? It's cross platform and handles both binary and source based app distributions.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
