# alternative-front-ends
Overview of alternative open source front-ends for popular internet platforms.

## Info
* Do you know any other projects about front ends or alternatives to websites, apps, etc. that are not included in the overview yet?
* Just create an issue and let me know. I'm always looking for new projects to add.
