🌍 The FOSS Place

The FOSS Place is a free and open-source app store designed to showcase the best of FOSS software in one simple, accessible hub.
No ads, no tracking — just community-curated open-source apps.

This a work-in-progress.

✨ Why The FOSS Place?

Open-source apps are everywhere, but they're often scattered across different sites and repositories.
The FOSS Place brings them together in one lightweight catalog, making it easier to:

  • 🔎 Discover new FOSS projects
  • 📚 Learn about their features and licenses
  • 🌐 Access official download links and repositories
  • 🤝 Contribute by adding your favorite apps

🛠️ Features

  • Minimalist design — built with plain HTML + CSS for speed and accessibility
  • Organized categories — Media, Productivity, Utilities, Development, and more
  • Community-driven — anyone can add or improve app listings
  • Open-source ethos — every app listed is free and open source
