Ukrainian developer Bohdan created and launched the web platform «Osyo!». This is an online catalog that collects applications, services, games, AI tools, and defense digital solutions from Ukrainian developers. The main goal of the project is to popularize Ukrainian software and help users find local alternatives to foreign software.
The developer announced the launch of the platform in the Reddit community. According to him, the idea for its creation arose from an obsessive hobby of constantly searching for new useful programs and the desire to unite high-quality Ukrainian developments in one place so that users do not have to search for them in disparate collections.
«I’ve been working on a small project for the past few months. I wanted to create a place where you can easily find Ukrainian applications, AI tools, services, and games, and developers could add their products on their own,» notes Bohdan.
The author said that he was inspired to create the platform by other successful Ukrainian initiatives, including Manifesto (a catalog of domestic YouTube channels), Slovotvir, and the NUAM music portal. In addition, the development of the idea was influenced by the experience of using well-known Ukrainian products, including the Quests socialization app, the Obimy warm communication space, and the Promova language learning platform.
All products on osyo.app are divided into categories. In particular, there are sections for Defense & Security (which includes the LifesaverSIM medical simulator and Drill AI shooting trainer), Productivity & Finance, Education, as well as business solutions and automation tools.
The platform has a dynamic system for rating and sorting products by popularity in the categories «Top of the Day» and «Top of the Month». Any Ukrainian developer or startup can add their product to the site for free and quickly to show it to a wider audience and get the first feedback.
Previously, dev.ua wrote about the launch of the web platform «Panelki» — an interactive database of manga and comics in Ukrainian. This service was created by designer Alex Prime together with the translation community «Third Parallel» to track releases, monitor prices, and maintain virtual libraries of comics.
