A curated list of real world web projects that are:
- In use in production
- The source is available as Open source
- Can be deployed locally/on-prem
- Ready to use (zero development required)
- Preferrably offered as SaaS service as well
The projects are grouped by the language and framework they're built upon. This list is intended to show how a particular framework is used and designed in real world application, not just in hobby/learning project. The developers should be able to learn how professional developers write a large codebase, how deployment looks like on PaaS/VM, how to work in a large team, and eventually contribute to them.
Feel free to add more project repositories here by sending a Pull Request.
