How we select projects Clear purpose, an accessible primary source, a practical entry point and visible limits. These are editorial picks, not exhaustive coverage, product endorsements or measured popularity rankings. Setup labels are our orientation guide. No project has been installed or benchmarked for this directory. Cost excludes any assumption that self-hosting is free. Stars are dated interest snapshots; we do not infer user counts or trends from them.
Flowise is held out of the main shortlist because its official repository states that it has been archived. Source ↗
