Clone-Wars

A list of open source clones and alternatives to Airbnb, Amazon, Instagram, Netflix, TikTok, Spotify, WhatsApp, and YouTube, with demos, tutorials, tech stacks, and star counts.

The repository is a list of more than a hundred open source clones and alternatives to popular sites: Airbnb, Amazon, Instagram, Netflix, TikTok, Spotify, WhatsApp, YouTube, and others. The README explains that the collection splits into two tables. Clones look quite similar in terms of UI but are not fully functional, mostly built for learning purposes. Alternatives are fully functional open source replacements for popular software. Star counts give a rough idea of which is which.

The clones with tutorials table lists each entry by the site it clones, then shows demo, tutorial or course site, repository, and tech stack. The structure lets a reader jump from a product they know to the code that imitates it, then to the course that explains how.

An Airbnb clone is built with the Sanity SDK, Next.js, and React Hooks. An Instagram clone uses React Native and Firebase Firestore. The tech stack column does double duty: it tells you what a clone is made of and hints at what you might learn from it.

A second table covers clones and alternatives with demo, repository, tech stack, and repo stars, and it includes password managers alongside other popular software. Everything is organized so you can browse by the original product name, which keeps the list usable as it grows.

The project is licensed under AGPL-3.0, and the homepage is gourav.io. The description calls the list 100 plus open source clones, and the README frames the whole thing as a learning resource from start to finish.

The list's usefulness comes from its organization: pick a site you know, find a clone, and follow the tutorial. The star counts act as a coarse quality signal, and the alternatives table covers the cases where you want something that actually works.
