3 🐈chy Open-Source Projects

One of the reasons why I like javascript is because you can build and validate any kinda idea in no time.

The community is huge and generous enough that it has open-sourced tons of complex projects.

First off, I would like to thank all the open-source contributors who are making the world a better place. I hope you would be able to use some of the following resources and return the favor by contributing to our open-source community. Cheers to these unsung heroes!

As a curious software engineer, I’m always looking for the open-sourced alternatives of popular solutions. This post covers opensource alternatives of Notion, Google docs & Grammarly.

Also, don’t expect that you will get a complete solution for free. These opensource projects may not have the exact functionality and tons of features but they do cover the basic idea of the product.

• Notion.so: The product is famous for managing wiki, tasks & notes. Try Outline, an open-sourced, extensible, wiki for your team built using React and Node.js.
• Google docs: These documents are popular for real-time editing and collaborating with others. Ever had an idea of customizing these docs as per your requirements? Try Etherpad-lite. It is a real-time collaborative editor scalable to thousands of simultaneous real-time users. It provides full data export capabilities, and runs on your server, under your control.
• Grammarly: It’s the best tool for copyrighting. It has a free version as well which is handy at times. But ever thought to integrate this feature in your service? Write-Good is a naive linter for English prose for developers who can’t write good (not my words) and wanna learn to do other stuff good too.

Bonus — Building forms using WYSIWYG is not new but this tool also allows you to create a website by adding components in runtime. Edtr — “The Open Source Web Editor, You Will Love”

FYI, If you have reached this far and still don’t understand the heading 🐈chy = Catchy
