Big update featuring alternative comments and features section

We really want to make it easy for you to find better apps. Besides taking in your suggestions, we've also taken the initiative to implement some features we think will help with that. You'll see them throughout the site as you browse different apps.

First up, you'll notice comments available on a per-alternative basis. Those alternative comments let you add your thoughts about why an app is a good alternative to another. So for example, if you think Blender is a legitimate substitute for HitFilm Pro , you could add a comment explaining why. We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Next up, you'll see a feature section just above the comments. You can add features for each app and they'll be listed here, making it easier to compare them. You can add features like "Works offline" or "Task management". If you have a look at the Sublime Text listing, you'll see a slew of alternatives, each with a list of features like "Minimap" or "Fast Startup". Those are important when considering alternatives to Sublime Text.

We want to thank you in advance for using these features as they help others to find viable alternatives to make life easier!

The technologies used by you are great. But I wonder if you could have made the same web app using fewer technologies.

Yes, absolutely! There already are alternatives listed here: AlternativeTo icon AlternativeTo

Feel free to add new ones or suggest changes to the apps in that list!

We could argue they are open-sourcing their open source alternative website!
