On the database website, I didn’t see any alternatives to GitHub, or even a category for that I could submit to.
“Software development, collaboration & hosting”?
Here are some:
- Codeberg (Germany, non-profit)
- Sourcehut (Netherlands)
- Launchpad (UK, it’s not just for Ubuntu stuff)
- Radicle (Switzerland, peer-to-peer: no central host)
- Free Software Foundation Europe, Gitea instance (non-profit)
Alternative to… lots of stuff: GitHub, Google, Gmail, Google Docs, Discord, Skype, Reddit, Twitter etc
- Disroot (Netherlands, non-profit)
Alternative to Microsoft VS Studio Marketplace (extensions for VS Studio IDE)
- Open VSX (Belgium, non-profit)
Open source alternative to Microsoft VS Studio IDE, with Microsoft telemetry removed
Good to see a UK offering.
That’s fantastic! It might solve a range of problems with transitioning from old media and a lot of their tools federate. I’m all in on this.
Dagnabbit! But I also kinda love it. Well done.
Ah ha, they are on Lemmy: !disroot_community@scribe.disroot.org
Another… lemmyor? lemmista? pointed out that several of Disroot’s services (cloud, email) are unecrypted, so be aware of that.
Oh indeed, although they are quite clear which ones are. My biggest concern is the other bit of the lemming’s warning (what I’m going with anyway), not to go all in, as you never know if the project is unsustainable without all the data harvesting. However, Google have taught me that lesson over thr years.
I think Disroot survive on donations, and I get the impression that they would rather close than sell users’ data. But you never know.
My next major software install will be the Nextcloud docker image, replacing so many data-sucking cloud services. Self-host at first, then maybe try a trusted provider (from whom my data would be protected).
