Over 100 of the worlds top apps - forked.
Waiting to be
$LINK'ed and relaunched.
Someone cloned Netflix.
Then cloned Spotify.
Then cloned Instagram.
Then cloned Airbnb.
Then cloned WhatsApp.
Then cloned TikTok.
Then cloned Amazon.
Then put the source code for all of them on GitHub. For free.
Not one app. Not ten. Over 100 open source clones of the biggest apps on Earth. With source code. With demos. With tech stacks listed.
It is called Clone-Wars. 34,555 stars on GitHub.
Built by an Indian-origin developer named Gourav Goyal. He started collecting open source clones of popular apps into one list in December 2020. In March 2021, it went from 0 to 4,000 stars in 7 days. It was on GitHub Trending for 5 days straight. Someone posted it to Hacker News and it hit #1 on the front page.
Here is what is inside.
Netflix clones. React, TMDB API, full streaming UI.
Spotify clones. Music player, playlists, search, albums.
Instagram clones. Feed, stories, likes, comments, DMs.
WhatsApp clones. Real-time messaging, read receipts, group chats.
Airbnb clones. Search, booking, maps, payments.
Amazon clones. Products, cart, checkout, Stripe payments.
TikTok clones. Short video feed, upload, likes.
Twitter clones. Feed, follow, tweet, retweet.
Slack clones. Channels, threads, real-time chat.
Trello clones. Boards, cards, drag and drop.
YouTube clones. Video player, search, comments.
And 90 more.
Every clone has source code, a live demo, and the tech stack listed. React, Next.js, Node, Firebase, MongoDB, GraphQL, Tailwind. Every modern stack represented.
Here is why this matters.
Coding bootcamps charge $10,000 to $20,000 to teach you how to build apps like these.
Udemy courses charge $50 to $200 each. One app at a time. One framework at a time.
This repo gives you 100 fully built apps with source code you can read, fork, and learn from. For $0.
Here is the wildest part.
The best way to learn to build Netflix is to look at someone who already built Netflix. Not a tutorial that teaches you one feature at a time. A complete, working clone with every feature connected.
You do not learn architecture from tutorials. You learn architecture from reading real projects.
100 apps. 100 demos. 100 source codes. One repo.
Bootcamp: $10,000 to $20,000. Teaches 2 to 3 projects.

34,555 stars. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
