I am looking to create similar tool to AlternativeTo. This would list different brands and why you should or should not buy them. Is there some software that would be great starting point for creating this kind of service?
I would guess wiki apps would work for this, but like wikijs, but interested to hear is the something else that could be used for this.
You must log in or register to comment.
A wiki would be great, since it allows user contributions and a familiar interface.
Not necessarily mediawiki, though. Or maybe something that allows people to submit individual options in a category and vote on them.
Get it running and set it loose!
This used to exist:
Alternate to alternate to.
I used the alternate to destroy the alternate.to
Never enough alternatives
As I’ve found out recently, finding true alternatives can be difficult. Take bread for instance. I just discovered Bimbo Bakeries own at least 26 brands. So when you’re on the bread aisle you probably have a moderate to high chance of buying one of their products.
Brands of what?
Alternative To only does software so imagine that but for physical products.
God let this become a thing
how technical are you?
You could probably use Notion as a backend and use Potion.so to make the website. Another route is Webstudio + a CMS like Hygraph or Strapi if you want to self host it.
I think this might even be doable on Ycode or Webflow.
At the end of the day what you want is a database with all the products and a relations between each other based on their features.
