Submit a Tool
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:
- Project name
- Repository URL (GitHub / GitLab / etc.)
- One-line description (max 100 chars, in any of: EN / ZH / KR / VI — we translate the rest)
- Category — one of: AI Tools, Dev Utils, Data Science, LLM Frameworks
- Why this matters — 2-3 sentences on what problem it solves
- 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 Tell us what’s wrong (stale stars, broken link, outdated description) and we’ll fix within 48 hours.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.
