Over 14 to 20 September 2026 we collected 68 posts from r/software, and 22 of them put a question mark in the title. That is a fairly normal split between people asking and people telling.

The words that came up in the most separate titles were open (10), built (8), source (8), free (7), windows (7) and app (6).

What they asked

The most recent questions, newest first. Reply counts are what they were when we collected the post, which is usually a couple of hours after it went up.

What else drew replies

Posts that were not questions but had picked up the most discussion by the time we read them.

Every week of r/software, without reading any of it.
