Dibi8 + Submit Tool

Submit a Tool

slug: submit

Got an open-source AI tool we should cover? #

We accept submissions from project maintainers, contributors, and users who think a project deserves more attention.

What we look for #

A project is more likely to be accepted if it has:

  • Permissive license (MIT, Apache 2.0, BSD, MPL, GPL — anything OSI-approved)
  • Active maintenance — at least one commit in the past 90 days
  • Working install path — README has setup steps that actually work
  • Real use case — not a “weekend hack” that nobody runs in production
  • Public repository — preferably GitHub, but GitLab / Codeberg / sourcehut are fine

We do not accept:

  • Closed-source projects (even with “open beta”)
  • Tools that exist only on a hosted site without source
  • Pure crypto rug-pull bait
  • Projects whose primary value is buying followers/stars/clicks

How to submit #

Email ctrl_c_ctrl_v@dibi8.com with subject line [SUBMIT] <project name> and include:

  1. Project name
  2. Repository URL (GitHub / GitLab / etc.)
  3. One-line description (max 100 chars, in any of: EN / ZH / KR / VI — we translate the rest)
  4. Category — one of: AI Tools, Dev Utils, Data Science, LLM Frameworks
  5. Why this matters — 2-3 sentences on what problem it solves
  6. Your relationship to the project — maintainer / contributor / user / no relation

What happens next #

  • We review submissions within 7 days
  • If accepted, we publish a 4-language article and notify you
  • If declined, you’ll get a one-paragraph reason — usually one of: stale, closed-source, duplicate, or out of scope
  • We don’t blacklist anyone — if a project improves and you resubmit, we’ll re-review

Want to suggest improvements to an existing entry? #

Same email, subject line [FIX] <article URL>. Tell us what’s wrong (stale stars, broken link, outdated description) and we’ll fix within 48 hours.

No payment, no exclusives #

Submissions are free. We do not accept payment for inclusion, placement order, or favorable treatment. If a project pays us, we will publicly disclose it — but we have not, and we don’t plan to.
