Redesign

A new look and a friendlier directory

The whole site has been redesigned to feel like a finished product, not a wireframe. Browsing, comparing, and reading guides should all feel calmer and more capable.

  • A new home page with a clearer hero, live stats, featured workflows, and a self-hosted vs hosted comparison.
  • A workflow-first /categories index so you can pick a job before picking software.
  • Faster, sidebar-driven filtering on /apps with category and license facets, sorting, and a result counter.
  • Richer app pages with a metadata sidebar, deploy targets, license info, and the SaaS products each app can replace.
  • Improved search box with live suggestions and quieter empty states.
  • Light and dark color schemes that follow your system, with better contrast and typography across every page.
