FAQ
Should developer tools still use SourceForge?
Yes when developers are a primary audience and you can keep a clear project page. See the SourceForge directory guide for requirements.
What are strong alternatives for developer discovery?
AlternativeTo, Product Hunt, Indie Hackers, and review sites like G2 once you have technical reviews. Use Submit Developer Tool to Directories.
Do you host my open-source project?
No. We submit listing assets to directories. SourceForge remains the host/discovery product if you choose to publish code there.
How do I start?
