Open App Scout

A hand-picked directory of real open-source applications — apps worth running, studying, and extending.

Why this list

GitHub search works when you already know what you are looking for. This list is for the other case: discovering real, production-grade apps — not tutorials, boilerplates, or package-only libraries — and understanding what each one is worth your time for.

Every entry is one human-curated Markdown file in content/records/, kept fresh by weekly GitHub metadata syncs. To add an app, use the submission form or open a pull request — see CONTRIBUTING.md.

About this project

The list above is one view of the catalog. The same records also build openappscout.com — a searchable directory with per-app detail pages, curated collections, stack and category browsing, and contributor credits.

• Every app is one file: content/records/<slug>.md, its fields as YAML frontmatter and its review notes underneath. The schema and field ownership rules are documented in docs/SCHEMA.md.
• Automation-owned GitHub metadata lives apart from the records, in data/cache/github/; scheduled jobs refresh it through reviewable pull requests.
• The site is built with Grove on Astro and Tailwind CSS, and deploys as a static site to Cloudflare.
• The list section of this README is generated from the records with grove readme generate — edit the records, not the list.

Add or update an app

The fastest path is the web form: it fetches a public GitHub repository, asks a few questions and opens a pull request with one file, content/records/<slug>.md. Add your GitHub username and the app page credits you.

For a manual contribution:

1. Create or edit content/records/<slug>.md (see CONTRIBUTING.md for the format).
2. Run pnpm exec grove check and pnpm build.
3. Open a focused pull request.

Inclusion criteria — what belongs, what does not, and how entries are reviewed — are documented in CONTRIBUTING.md. All participants follow the Code of Conduct.

Development

Requires Node.js 22.12 or newer and pnpm (pinned in package.json, available via corepack enable).

git clone https://github.com/tortuvshin/open-apps.git
cd open-apps
corepack enable
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm dev

Command	Purpose
pnpm dev	Start the Astro development server
pnpm build	Validate data and build the static site into dist/
pnpm preview	Preview the production build locally
pnpm check	Run Astro and TypeScript checks
pnpm audit	Run Lighthouse against the pages in grove.config.ts
pnpm exec grove check	Validate records, generate artifacts, and run checks
pnpm exec grove sync <target>	Refresh GitHub metadata owned by Grove
pnpm exec grove readme generate	Regenerate the list section of this README

Automation

GitHub Actions keeps the catalog fresh without silent changes:

• Every push and pull request — CI runs an icon drift check, grove check, and a full site build.
• Weekly — GitHub metadata sync, contributor sync, and README regeneration, each landing as a reviewable pull request.
• Monthly — a cleanup report flags stale records for curator review; nothing is removed automatically.

AI-readable catalog

The deployed site publishes llms.txt, a compact guide to the site, and llms-full.txt, the expanded catalog for AI assistants and retrieval tools — generated from the same records as everything else.

Project history

Open App Scout grew from open-source-flutter-apps. The original README-only collection is preserved in README-LEGACY.md, while this project evolves it into a structured, searchable, multi-stack directory.

Security

Report vulnerabilities and sensitive issues through the private process in SECURITY.md — never in a public issue.
