I'm building a list of #slopfree software projects to help developers, businesses and software users make choices about their software usage.

And I wanted to provide a (semi-)positive counterpart to the AI doom.

https://codeberg.org/brib/slopfree-software-index

Happy to take suggestions and contributions!

EDIT: Thanks everyone for their support! I will need time to process all the replies, I will get back to you over the next few days.

EDIT 2: I've compiled the contributions into the project - thanks for your suggestions! If any are missing, please file an issue or PR so I can easily track suggestions

@sitcom_nemesis perhaps worth noting that pretty much any GPLed thing is likely to be slop free. You either need a restrictive license or a tight governance model (like BSD OSes). Perhaps there's evidence otherwise but I don't think so at this point. A lot of permissive projects are unsurprisingly adopting vibecoding.

@swannodette I wish! Linux is GPL but explicitly allows AI contributions: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst#attribution

@sitcom_nemesis yeah sorry I meant GPL projects who've assigned copyright to FSF, the governance bit!

@swannodette Assigned copyright to FSF? What do you mean?
