Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • slint

    Slint is a declarative GUI toolkit to build native user interfaces for Rust, C++, or JavaScript apps.

    It is not categorically true that all software and maintainers are unpaid. Many of the top projects are maintained and developed by software developers who are on a salary to do exactly that. Some projects are able to successfully get funding through offering commercial licensing as Slint and Qt does it. It's very recently become popular to fund your favorite developers through GitHub Sponsors, but you need a proven track record to convince people that you're worth the monthly donations.

  • 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.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
