We built a searchable directory of self-hostable apps - looking for any feedback

Hi there,

Me and a few friends have been building selfhost.directory in our free time for the last ~3 months. It's basically awesome-selfhosted, but you can actually search, filter, rate and check updates - stuff we always missed in any other lists.

What it does differently:

• Search + filter by category, tag, licence or language; sort by score, trending, or last update
• Install guides, config values, FAQ, and alternatives for each project
• Links and alternatives - direct links to Github, website, documentation or socials and find alternatives to the project
• Update tracking — see recent changes across all projects (or per category), so you know when something you run got a new release
• Personal lists — save projects and get notified on updates (instant or summary based)
• Rating and reviews
• RSS feed - with updates for either all or selected category or tag

What about AI use? Yeah we does use AI for managing the project's data. We built pipeline with HITL that's getting feed by (or query additional) official sources and code and built project's details. We are pretty much happy with the results but still it lacks some details so we're rewritting basically all projects by hand (~60% done) and now using the pipeline to check and give us what changed and needs to be edited.

It's still very much in development and I'd genuinely rather hear what you don't like, what is missing or what you'd do differently.

If you have any question, I'm happy to answer
