We dedicate another article to the developer friends who follow us. In fact, we recently talked about the project ReverseEagle (unfortunately ReserveEagle is an abandoned project and the site no longer works) and some alternatives to Blogger. In this case we will always try not to use technical language but will mainly talk to those who already have their own project and to those who already develop software or websites. In fact, we will talk about projects Open source nice for developers, projects that often combine the useful and the pleasant!

This is in fact a serious but not boring article where we will try to list some projects Open source fun to use within your website and project. Later, if this may interest you, we will also dedicate one to the actual alternatives, thus delving into the alternatives to Google Captcha, Google Analytics, Google Fonts and so on. We already have one on this style and it's called How to create a website with open graphics and services.
