๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ DevRoadmaps โ€” A Free, Open-Source Roadmap.sh Alternative with 20 Career Paths and 2,000+ Resources

20 comprehensive developer roadmaps, 920+ topics, 2,000+ free resources, offline support, and community features โ€” all in pure HTML/CSS/JS with zero dependencies.

DevRoadmaps

The Problem

roadmap.sh is great โ€” but it has limitations:

  • No interactive progress tracking
  • Limited resources
  • Print/poster is paid
  • No community features
  • No offline support
  • No resource filtering or ratings

I wanted something that goes further โ€” truly free, feature-rich, and community-driven.

What Is DevRoadmaps?

DevRoadmaps is a free, open-source developer roadmap platform with 20 career paths, 800+ curated topics, and 1,700+ free resources.
