About

A nautical almanac is the reference table a navigator uses to fix their position by the stars. Almanac does the same job for the self-hosted web: a maintained chart of the software worth running yourself, so you can find your bearing without reading a hundred comparison threads.

Every entry is reviewed by a human before it appears. Listings note honest trade-offs — resource use, setup complexity, project maturity — not just feature lists. Popularity numbers come from real outbound clicks on this site, nothing else.
