Watch out for "awesome" lists.
- Hey that's so cool!!! I never thought I'd see my list posted around :)
  
  Is it just the name you're wary of or is there something you'd like me to change about it? I'm still working on it when I find new things or stuff changes but I mostly ran out of categories I have knowledge of :(
  
  I think they mean "watch out" as in "keep an eye out for" rather than "be careful of".
  
  On a different note I love that you have Pulsar on there :), I'm one of the team working on it so its always nice to see it mentioned in places.
  
  Some additions to the list you might consider:
  
  Password Managers
  
  Strongbox (Mac/iOS)
  
  Messengers:
  
  SimpleX
  
  Browsers:
  
  Mullvad Browser
- Oh that's awesome! I have had Awesome Windows lists before but hadn't stumbled across one on Codeberg yet. Nice.

- Is there a FOSS alternative to this site?
  
  Probably the Free Software Directory.
Can you be more specific. Alternatives for what? One time list or would you want and expect it to be constantly updated? By whom?

This list and many others like it, may be what you're looking for.
A few days ago the megathread was released
This is my list, maybe it will be useful. :)

- Interesting. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks!
https://alternativeto.net The was a discussion about adding something similar to the sidebar, but mods never responded, so this question will keep coming up
So someone already mentioned this, but there is this list I maintain on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/RayJW/awesome-foss

There is also this website which is pretty neat if you're searching for an alternative for a specific software: https://www.opensourcealternative.to/
