A Curated List of 400+ Open Source Projects for Everyday Use

Thanks for 100 stars! - frthr

Intro

A list of over 400 (and counting) open source projects that aims to have projects that is useful for any person that falls in between the range of tech-illiterate and 5head developer (is casual the word? idk). Maybe except for the Other section, that's just for fun.

This list does NOT include projects related to development such as APIs, libraries, and frameworks.

A version of the list without all the fluff lives here.
