Pros:

Open-source focus

Cons:

Significant portion of their app descriptions are copied from the very apps they're trying to compete against.

Do you think you're going to run into legal trouble by directly calling yourself an open source 'Google', using Google's colors for your logo, and several other things they could claim is an infringement on their trademark?
Would be great to see the tools before signing up.
Yeah, you need to show people what they're walking into before you ask them to commit. Even if it's just real screen grabs.
Please don’t make it look like Google. Your logo is nice but looks like a Google product.
surprised that this has no comments and so few upvotes.
I like this idea in principal, since I love open source, but I don’t understand how you are planning on building and maintaining “Google” like services without even a modicum of their resource. The products already listed on your website are already numerous, and Google will have had large teams working on each of these products for several years. I can’t see how you’re realistically going to be able to offer even a fraction of what Google offers unless you have some serious capital. Some questions: 1. How big is your team? 2. Do you have funding? 3. Are you relying on the open source community to come together and build these products? 4. Something else?
Hey could you add the maker's profile it's , he's on product hunt too as
he was already added but since the Product Hunt username is not the same as the Twitter one, it didn't show up. Has been fixed now, thanks 🤗
It doesn't appear to have search, so the description should probably include what google service replacements it does include.
got a notice that this was a google competitor, but not seeing it just yet? nice open source platforms of some google services - but missing more interesting things like your own tensorflow, gmail, collaborative docs platform, adsense (okay you don't believe in ads) etc
