This list contains slop-free (without LLM generated code; supposedly) open source software. It is a positive counterpart of Open-Source Slopware. Check out and give thumbs up also to AI Slopfree Software Catalog which contains software dedicated against LLMs!
Applications in this list are deemed slop-free by a quick eye test, so it does not necessarily mean that they indeed are not tainted with machine generated code.
So, why is it important to avoid LLM generated code?
I will try to add links at some time to the statements above to back them up.
