Other open app ecosystems

@strypey The list for the wep app is here : https://cloud.communecter.org/index.php/s/LdblWQikmlbAZVv

We didn't put sandstorm anywhere cause we know them too much :D

hey, if anyone hasn't already, i recommend checking out Scuttlebutt!

it's an off-grid social network for the counterantidisintermediationists. but much easier to explain and understand while using it.

• social network apps:
  • Patchwork (:star2: start here!)
  • Patchbay
  • MMMMM
  • patchfoo
  • decent
• music sharing app
• git + GitHub app
• mutual credit
• dns
• chess

it's a living and active community-driven ecosystem, this generation of the network has been alive for over 2 years now, we currently have ~100 people actively using the system every day.

soo.. come join or something, if you want. :heart:

p.s. @bobhaugen we miss youuuuuuuuuu.

I'm coming back (finally gave up on fixing my old computer and ordered a new one), and am talking to @ivan116 about using Scuttlebutt for an Open App Ecosystem substrate. He's also seduced a couple of other people from FairCoop into the scuttleverse.

Just getting started.

RiseUp has a list of 'Radical Servers', who host internet services for activists. Most (if not all) of them use free code tech, although often it's very old tech (eg SquirrelMail for webmail and GNU MailMan for email lists). Some of the folks involved may be interested in what we're trying to achieve with the Open App Ecosystem, and will certainly have experience to share about deployment, security, and long term maintenance.

I'm on an email list called CommonsCloud hosted by the folks from the Free Knowledge Institute. They are also working on a sort of open app ecocsystem, and have been testing Cloudron as a platform, which from what they describe seems similar to Sandstorm.

Cloudron is very interesting. As probably would be the mailing list. @strypey do you advise signing up?

Definitely @bobhaugen, they are a friendly bunch doing strongly aligned work. Might be worth inviting them to join this group too.

Go for it, if you know anybody there.

I signed up, will check it out.
