Possibly unintentional but the pun works even better if you remember WAR files. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAR_(file_format)

WhatsApp clone storing messages plaintext on the server if I'm skimming the repository right?

Or a Spotify clone I clicked at random, idk, the screenshots look nearly 1:1 but then the "features" list doesn't mention that it can play music or, more importantly for Spotify (since playing music, I can do with any old mp3 player) generate useful recommendations if you could somehow feed it listener data

What's the point of these then, are they meant to be superficially functional UI clones (like screenshots except you can click things) or am I missing something?

Edit: Mastodon is also in the list as a Twitter clone. Some of these are not like the others :s

fishpen0•3mo ago
Yeah this is mostly the "build twitter in a day" projects that conveniently ignore the reason these companies have 10,000+ developers is the 99.9% of the software that is not the frontend that actually makes the company things happen at the company. The much bigger customers of many of these companies being the advertisers and the artists/creators who have their own interfaces and analytics and billing and payment tooling. The business rules engines and feature flags with tens of thousands of rules that allow any of these companies to operate in subtly different ways for customers in different states, countries, and regions with different laws for accessibility, fair use, and using and storing data. The auth and security layers that often have multiple interfaces for employees, customer classes, partners supporting native-auth, oidc, totp, developer tokens, etc... Apps for a dozen or more different app ecosystems on hundreds of device types from the obvious web and phone-based ios/android to the less obvious carplay, watch, roku, firestick, etc...

I'm finding many links unavailable or not working. Still, appreciate the list. :)

As someone whose already seen the original repository in the past, this is way more interesting(to me) than the repo, Thanks!

Would be interested to see an updated list, because as echoed by another comment...the current repository has a lot of dead/stale links.

Hey, I'm the Author and this is such a nice surprise :). I'm glad you liked the story behind the project.
