A PowerPoint alternative, and a new way to store your video games. This week’s top 5 open-source projects (November 7th, 2023)

Hey friend, how was your weekend?

Another week is upon us, and I am back with the next five exciting open-source projects this week. Including an exciting charting library, a new way to store your knowledge, and so much more.

And don’t forget, we got this week’s discount too!

SlidevJS

Am I the only person who hates PowerPoint? It is super janky and hard to work with…

But fear not! Slidev is an intuitive solution to your PowerPoint problems, if you have them of course. Using markdown you can now quickly create beautiful presentations with very few lines of text.

With over 125 contributors, and a long list of sponsors, including Vite and Stackblitz, this is a great project to check out!

Heroic Games Launcher

Most of us developers like to dibble dabble in a few video games occasionally, but keeping track of all your games can be a problem.

The Heroic Games Launcher combines your Amazon, Epic Games, and GOG games in one spot.

Being open-source, you can obviously contribute your own code. The project is currently at more than 150 contributors. So why not put your name on that list too?

Highcharts

Everyone loves data, and visualizing data is even better …right?

Highcharts is a Javascript charting library. Not only is it filled with the “usual” types of charts, but also stock charts, maps, gantts, a chart editor, and many more features.

So whether you are building the next trading platform, or yet another admin dashboard, Highcharts will have you covered.

OpenSign

Most of us know of applications like DocuSign or PandaDoc, applications making it easier to handle e-signing processes. OpenSign is an open-source alternative to these types of applications.

Developed by OpenSignLabs, their goal is to make the e-signing process accessible and straightforward for everyone.

Even though their first GitHub beta release was just a few days ago, they have already reached 20 contributors on their project. Why not help them build out this project further?

Trilium

Writing down the things you learn is an important step to remembering the information, but it is not always clear how or where to do it.

Trilium sets out to solve this problem. Using Trilium you will be able to build your own personal knowledge base.

Whether you are improving your programming skills, or learning a new real-life language, this is definitely a project to check out.

Trilium is closing in on 100 contributors, so why not help them out?
