I dunno why someone would link to the repo, it's not a project one builds to host locally. Previously https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=openalternative.co

Also, for comparison:

https://openalternative.co/?q=splunk

https://alternativeto.net/software/splunk/?license=opensourc...

We have dedicated alternative pages for a lot of projects, including Splunk: https://openalternative.co/alternatives/splunk

A useful feature would be to show such individual project pages when a user searches for a matching term.

Great project by the way! I will be visiting it again to learn more about open source alternatives.

It is funny that a site that promotes open alternatives runs on e.g., AWS S3.

What's funny is you thinking there is a purity test that should be applied here.

I also use Inngest, Plausible and PostHog which are open source. Hard to find a decent alternative to S3 and even if you find one, they just use S3 under the hood so what's the point?

It's definitely not hard to find an S3 alternative
