free web services & alternatives

search

Web services listed here have free usage & sharing as a main goal – using free licenses such as MIT, GNU AGPL, Creative Commons or similar terms. There will be no advertising for corporations that offer libre features as a niche service. On the other hand, platforms that mainly distribute free content and don't require user accounts do not have to be free themselves.

In the end, hosted web services are all about mutual trust. Users trust that their data is secure and the service will stay available in the future. Developers trust that the service will not be abused.

Ideally, you have a FreedomBox running at home and don't need to trust anyone. But many are not in the position to do that; either because of no permanent residence, not enough money to afford it or a weak internet connection not able to serve data across the country. That's why we hope the Unhosted architecture will get adopted.
