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.

    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.

      Thanks for recommendation. I am technical, but more on backend side rather than front end. I would love to use something that is opensource. This would probably work, but seems like I would need the create a lot of things “from scratch”. This would be a side project so I am looking something that would be simple as possible.
