I feel bad that I wasn't able to launch with more projects on FediDB.

Kind of tedious to locate all the metadata we use, maybe I should crowdsource this data to make it easier to add new projects to the fedidb.org/software section 🤔

I've been searching for such an index of software plus communities/connectivity.

@mike We do list 60 different ActivityPub implementations in the Network section but I did not have time to collect metadata (project summary, license, website, screenshots, etc) for every one.

I didn't mean to exclude a large number of software projects by virtue of popularity and I'm sorry it came across that way.
