Most simply, Mac Open Web is a collection of open and indie Mac, iOS, and web apps that help promote the open web.
Gosh yes, thank you so much. Do a pull request or file an issue and I’ll add it. Easy peasy. And thank you.
These kinds of things aren’t anything new, but the idea for this one came from a note that Brent Simmons sent out to a Slack group, and I thought “Why not?” So I picked it up and ran with it.
I think it also deserves a place here. It's built on open web technologies, after all. ❤️

I'm a bit biased as I'm the developer though :)

Love the idea (and simple design) of this site, but I'm a bit unclear on the qualifications needed for the software included.
I think Mellel fits the bill. We are an indie company, selling a product for almost 20 years, mac and ios only.

If you are a professional writer, and you need a tool that will actually help research, plan and deliver your content (no matter what your writing process might be), there is simply nothing that comes close to Scrivener. It has been the de facto standard for professional writing for well over a decade, and the tool that all others are compared to. It just so happen to be developed by indie developers - who are also writers themselves.
@good We would love to participate! We develop an email app called Postbox 7 and the website is:

Thanks for your consideration!

The app is good for Zettelkasten method, it has keybindings like nvALT. It is open source and has iOS app.
The archive is good too #58
The Skeletron app appears to be dead. The site hasn't updated in 3-4 years. The app didn't seem to work quite right when I downloaded it today. The author's site makes no mention of it at all.
It's a great idea and a good-looking app. I wish I was here with better news.
Article headers (e.g. "RSS Readers & Discovery") are missing unique HTML IDs. These would be handy for accessibility purposes, and for directly hyperlinking to particular sections of the page.
Add to Text & Writing section
An app for recording, managing and publishing collections of notes, with each collection allowed to have its own set of custom fields, such as Tags, a Link field, and a Date field.

Maybe you want to add Cyberduck, a libre server and cloud storage browser for Mac since 2003.
Please, add Swift Publisher (https://www.swiftpublisher.com/) and Art Text (https://text.design/art-text/) alongside Amadine in the Design section. These are also design apps from BeLigt Software.
Amadine (https://amadine.com) by BeLight Software (https://www.belightsoft.com), a new vector drawing app that has everything a graphic designer needs wrapped in an uncluttered and intuitive interface, every feature and tool is clear and easily accessible
Sublime Merge is the git client made by the same developer as Sublime Text - famous for its minimalistic UI, which hides a lot of power.
I nominate GitUp. It’s a very useful open-source graphical front-end to Git. https://gitup.co/
Unmark is a to-do list for bookmarks. It can be used for free, or pay, on the web site, but is also open source.
nvALT is a fork by Brett Terpstra (who has written a bunch of other useful Mac utilities) of Notational Velocity (also a good app) that supports Markdown. It's my writing tool of choice.
Cross platform password database format (KeePass), but it is written as a native macOS app.

Would love to recommend Cascadea, an indie Mac app and Safari extension for customizing any website with custom CSS.
There are a number of web-based apps and services listed (Glitch, Pinboard, Mastodon, &c.) that could benefit from an appropriate icon.
Likewise there are also a couple of apps the provide watchOS (and CarPlay) support which need icons as well.
As long as we’re being thorough.
Please would you consider adding Castamatic in the podcast player section? It's based on the open web: the user can subscribe both choosing from the iTunes search API and by entering any valid podcast feed URL.

Hi!
Optimus Player is a media player designed specifically for macOS. Major features from version 1 include color accuracy, AirPlay 2 audio, and dual subtitles.
I believe it deserves to be on this list because it is made for people who do not want to be locked into an anti-open-web subscription streaming service and it is made by an indie developer.
MailMate is a fantastic alternative to Apple Mail. Well worth adding.
I think there should be an utilities section:

Title: RapidWeaver
Tagline: A powerful and easy to use web design app that puts you back in control.

The Coda link is dead; that software is no longer available as it was replaced by Nova (which is already on the list)
mStream is an open source music server that runs on OSX:
Hi,
Would love (more) to see this site published with a sweet RSS feed :)
Cheers,

GitFinder is made by an indie developer, and one of the most full-featured git clients around. Its integration into the Finder makes it quite unique, and IMHO worthy of mention.
ViennaRSS - https://www.vienna-rss.com/
The Archive is, together with NvAlt, the best note-taking app ever made.
https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/
Indie/small co, helpful, well-supported, and very reasonably priced.
Development category
There are a number of audio apps (for playing, streaming, recording, and editing) that could potentially be added to the site, including Iconfactory’s Triode and mStream (#38).
Should these be included under the Podcasting category, expanding the subhead to something like Audio, Streaming & Podcasting? Or should we start a new category specifically for Audio & Video apps?
Thoughts?
I recently needed to batch process a bunch of photos for a clients web site and remembered this old goodie:
It's been around forever! I remember registering it Shareware a long time ago and receiving a 3.5" floppy in the mail with the registration number on it.
I'd like to suggest Mast, a beautiful and FOSS iOS app for Mastodon made by an indie developer
