This is a super nice list and exactly along the lines of something I've been looking for.....but not for PHP or Javascript. Anyone have an idea where a similar collection of projects involving Java/C#/C++/C would be found?
It's not only for PHP or JavaScript and it's not for projects but for products. You're very welcome to submit some Java/C#/C++/C open source products if you find them.
I couldn't disagree more. A CLI tool is a program/app/product like any other. A library is a piece of code that you call using another piece of code. And what about text-mode programs? Is Midnight Commander also a "library"?
There are a great many CLI programs out there, but only a few can be considered "awesome", and none of the classic Unix tools are eligible for the being "indie". It's a shame to not include standout projects like Fish, FZF, Ripgrep, FD, and Exa solely because they are command-line products.
That said, here are some other (non-CLI) products you might want to consider:
- Wallabag (not that small but certainly not big)
- Shaarli (a descendant of del.icio.us)
- Wekan (another Trello clone)
- Standard Notes (note-taking and syncing, like the Notes app that ships with Apple)
Yeah, I think I'm being subjective when deciding what to add to this list. For me, a product has to have a beautiful landing page and a nice UI. There are other awesome lists for CLI tools and I've linked to them in the issue. It's definitely not intended for this list to list Unix tools. Thank you for the suggestions, I'll add them.
