Independent open-source research

Own the tools that run your work.

Curated open-source alternatives and deployable software. Researched for practical fit, operating reality, and honest trade-offs.

Editorial policy / 01

Two collections. No blurred trust.

Alex's Collection

Independently researched, reviewed, and recommended.

Coolify catalog

Deployable templates imported from upstream. Useful, but explicitly unreviewed.

Recommendations explain fit, dependencies, and limitations instead of hiding behind a score.

Deployment method and external-service requirements sit beside every review.

Review dates, source evidence, and upstream metadata make staleness inspectable.
