Why fork open
Fork it. Learn it. Ship it different.
We surface projects you can inspect, break, remix, and actually learn from—without the polished directory theater.
Builder-eye curation
Picked by people who ship and debug tools, not by affiliate editorial checklists.
Source-first links
Every drop points straight to code so you can read reality before reading claims.
Honest signal over hype
We call out where a project shines, where it feels rough, and what it unlocks.
What you get here
FAQ
The obvious questions, answered fast.
What ForkBun includes, how it works, and whats coming nextwithout the corporate fluff.
-
What qualifies a project for inclusion on ForkBun?
It needs to be open-source, useful in real builder workflows, and worth forking or learning from. We prioritize signal over hype.
-
Are the projects free?
Most are fully free to inspect and fork. If a tool has paid layers or hosted tiers, we call that out clearly.
-
Is this a directory or a newsletter?
Directory first, always. The newsletter is optional backup for people who want drops delivered instead of checking manually.
-
How often do new projects appear?
New finds land continuously, with frequent curated batches. Expect a living feed, not a static list.
-
Do sponsorships or ads exist yet?
Not yet. Right now its pure discovery. If sponsorship slots open later, theyll be clearly marked and kept separate from curation.
