I guess I’m becoming a dinosaur, and now I don’t know where to find out about new FOSS stuff being developed, when new releases are out, etc.
I used to get it all on USENET and mailing lists, and then later on sourceforge.net and freshmeat.net. Now I track some things on https://freshcode.club/, but I don’t see much that’s ‘fresh’. Maybe new updates, but not too many new packages. sourceforge still exists, but it doesn’t seem current.
If I know about a project I’ll follow it on GitHub, but I’m looking for a place to find out about new things that I didn’t know I wanted yet.
tl;dr: Where can I watch to see promising new FOSS software projects?
Lots of good suggestions already commented. I browse subs and communities, browse fdroid regularly and have a scroll through sourceforge/ git*/ alternativeto/ linux distro repositories now and again
One time i was really bored and just sorted projects on gitlab and github by stars and scrolled page after page finding many interesting projects. Then finding one thing makes you think of another which you can go look in to
