Brabble.ai is a marketplace for open-source projects that need traction: get listed, get tried, and get the first users who make a repo take off.
One project, one job.
The listings that get traction do one thing clearly. If a repo needs a diagram to explain what it is, it isn't ready for the index yet.
It has to run today.
Every listing links to something a visitor can actually use in the next five minutes. A demo, a one-command install, a live app. No “star to follow.”
Source in the open.
The point is traction for open-source work. Public repo, a licence, and issues turned on so the people who try it can push it forward.
The index
Every project, one job each.
The launch catalogue: open-source projects that run today and do one thing well. Filter, search, and open the ones that fit.

Get listed
Open-source, runs today, does one job? Book a call and we'll walk through it. If it's ready, your card goes in the index.
The stance
Three rules, and they aren't negotiable.
We list, we don't gatekeep taste.
You don't need a following or a polished landing page. You need a project that runs and does one thing. We review for that, not for hype.
Every listing earns its spot.
A card that nobody opens comes down. The index stays worth browsing because it only holds projects people actually try.
Traction over launches.
One good launch fades in a day. We'd rather put your project in front of the same people every week and let the stars and issues stack up.
How a listing works
A call, a card, and a spot in the index.
There's no submission form. We keep the bar high by talking to every maintainer first: what the project does, who it's for, and whether it's ready for people to try. If it is, it goes up.
- 01Book a call and walk us through the project
