  1. Platform

    Free, open-source community platform, decentralized alternative to Big Tech. For apps that empower people and unite communities. (by Qbix)

    I know I’ve been posting this a few times over the past few months, but I haven’t started promoting it yet to the world.

    This is a hard problem because people expect real-time chat, videoconferencing, livestreaming, privacy controls, proper notifications, profiles, photo uploads and much more.

    Short answer, use this: https://github.com/Qbix/Platform

  3. indico

    Indico - A feature-rich event management system, made @ CERN, the place where the Web was born.

    Indico is a not-framasoft open-source made in CERN event organisation solution : https://getindico.io/

  4. diaspora*

    A privacy-aware, distributed, open source social network.

    * Look into Diaspora. (https://diasporafoundation.org/). Upside: It's basically a self-hosted facebook. Really cool project. Downside: Unlike facebook, there's no fake/pushed content so it tended to feel stale.

    * Look into hosting a forum (e.g. phpBB). Forums are excellent because they don't lose old information like facebook does. When someone says "Hey what's the policy on dogs?" three years later I can search "dogs" and find the answer. Downside: They're not pretty, not full of pictures and no infinite scrollingz. sadge alfababies.

    * IRC chat. I hosted an IRC group for several years at work and it worked great. We only killed it when we decided to move to an enterprise communication app.

  5. Friendica

    Friendica Communications Platform
