Show HN: I made an AI free version of my directory of open-source alternatives
Image: Hacker News (Newest)

I've been running OpenAltFinder for almost 16 months now, and received quite a bit of positive feedback. The directory has also grown substantially. Over the last few months I've been receiving more and more submissions that were AI-assisted/vibe-coded.Personally I'm a bit skeptical (both quality wise, and longevity wise), but I also want to give everyone a chance to showcase what they've build. I had already added an "AI-assisted" label, but right now the majority of submissions include that label.To counter this, I decided to build an AI-free version of it over at: https://noai.openaltfinder.com, inspired by duckduckgo.I had already received some positive feedback on HN in the comments, so I wanted to share this here as well. Do note that not every tool is correctly flagged at the moment, it's still a manual process. Although I'm planning to add it to my pipeline, and auto detect commits by AI agents.
