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

    Open source MVVM framework for Web Apps

  • NancyFx

    Discontinued Lightweight, low-ceremony, framework for building HTTP based services on .Net and Mono. Note: This project is no longer maintained and has been archived.

  • Being open source doesn't change the support model. It allows willing contributors to step up and fork in the event of total abandonment. As a comparison, nobody forked NancyFx to extend support or keep it alive.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • referencesource

    Source from the Microsoft .NET Reference Source that represent a subset of the .NET Framework

  • Much of the System.Web source is on https://github.com/Microsoft/referencesource. I haven't seen any real attempts by the community to port it to .NET 6+, though I'm not even sure if that's what's being asked for here.

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.
