# Opensource.Builders LLM Guide

Find open-source alternatives to popular software, compare features side-by-side, and find code references.

## Ethos
Our mission is to make open-source software the default choice for builders. We curate high-quality open-source projects that serve as viable alternatives to proprietary platforms like Shopify, Toast, and others. We focus on 'vertical' open source - building deep, feature-complete alternatives for specific industries.
