Finding good open-source software shouldn't mean digging through stale awesome-lists and star counts. Today we're launching DigGitHub, a hand-curated catalog of open-source projects you can browse by category, language and use case. Live activity metrics show which repos are actually maintained, and you can find open-source alternatives to the tools you already pay for. Free, fast, and no sign-up needed to explore.
