Before starting to work on a new project, I would normally try to map a competitive landscape, using google search, Crunchbase among others.

However, I discover most of the relevant competitors after starting to work on the actual project as people will start pointing to this or that competitor, which is often very useful.

Have you felt this problem before? And how do you go about researching the competitive landscape?

Thanks a ton for sharing your inputs

I am rather fond of the concepts described in "Clean Code" by Robert Martin but it seems that in real life, a really high-quality codebase is hard to come by.

While I am asking myself this question, the only one that popups to my mind would be Laravel: https://github.com/laravel/laravel (PHP)

One could think that a codebase as popular as React (https://github.com/facebook/react) would be a perfect example of "clean code" but with a glance, I personally don't find it very expressive.

This may all be very subjective but I would love to see examples of codebases that member of this community have enjoyed working with
