Update: We've created a new Build Something category for automation services. Automations make it easy for less technical users to integrate various third-party tools and automate processes. Commercial players like Make.com, Zapier, and IFTTT (If This Then That) compete with open source alternatives like n8n and fully libre open alternatives like Activepieces.

Update: Our directory's location filters weren't as good as our data. We've made some critical updates to them: You can now filter listings by the city, country, or continent that they're based in, and/or the geographic focus of the project.
(Before, you had to select the specific headquarters location, which is often a street address, and not very helpful). We'll roll these filters out to more views throughout the site.
