Show HN: mybf.io - platform for software reviews with social network aspect Hi! Recently I've launched - mybfio.io - platform for software reviews with social network aspect. Prehistory Many great system are already in place that allow people to search and rate software products, including the site I am publishing this post on. However I have always felt that those systems are not specifically centered around product/software development lifecycle (releases, real users feedback over a product entire lifetime, so on) and often too broad or not designed specifically for that type of work, which is ok. Why? As an opensource author I would like to have constant real users feedback, not necessarily tied only to bugs and feature requests.

Opensource authors seeking to build community around products they maintain Users seeking for relevant and well maintained software to fit best theirs needs What?

PS The mybfio service is still in active development, things might change, but any feedback is valuable. October 15, 2021 at 02:58AM

The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
