libreprojects's Introduction

open source hosted web services

  • open-source downloadable free software
  • web-based & hosted and with a gratis plan
  • usable easy to use for everyone

Collecting them makes it easy to find available projects to use and contribute to ā€“ both users and developers profit from that. Everyone can help improve these services, not only by coding or translating but also by using and spreading the word.

Not every project will be listed here, especially not complicated ones. Itā€™s not about giving many choices, itā€™s about providing the best solutions.

Adding new projects

When adding new projects, please consider the following guideline:

  • Editing the file js/data.json
  • Add project alphabetically within its category
  • Add new line like: {"id":"PROJECTNAME","category":"..","name":"..","description":"..","address":"https://..","licenses":["..", ..],"tags":["..", ..],"alternative":["..", ..],"introduction":"..","source":"https://.."},
  • id, category, name, description, address, licenses, introduction, source are mandatory
  • For category, licenses and alternative, use names defined in (same) js/data.json at the top
  • If the corresponding name isn't defined yet, just add it in the same commmit
  • Keep the description very short (possibly less than 20 letters), as it'll be directly displayed on the logo upon mouse-hover; the long description goes in introduction (copy some appropriate text from the project site)
  • Adding a logo logos/PROJECTNAME.png
  • Always quadratic, transparent png
  • Take the existing logo images as examples
  • Even if there's no logo image provided by the project, a meaningful logo image is necessary, as there's no fall-back feature.
  • You can at least take a screenshot of the project name, if there's a nicely styled website with specific fonts and colors.
  • Ideal size is 160 pxƗ160 px and never bigger
  • (Near-) quadratic or round logos (and everything in-between) shall be best resized to 128 pxƗ128 px and centered in a 160 pxƗ160 px canvas
  • Sparse (mostly transparent, e. g. letters) logos shall be best resized to the maximum size that fits in 160 pxƗ160 px
  • If the logo is very lengthy (like ratio > 3:1), you can consider:
  • Cutting off the letters and just taking the figure in the logo
  • Cutting the text apart where appropriate and wrapping around
  • One commit message for a new project (so that the history remains slim and esp. the rss feed is kept nice)
  • Don't mix irrelevant changes in the commit, but just add the necessary things for the new project
  • First line of commit message: New project: PROJECTNAME #THE_CORRESPONDING_ISSUE (additional notes can be added as appropriate)
  • Optionally write more details in the following lines (source etc.)

libreprojects's Issues

OrionHub

I would like to suggest that you add orionhub.org, which is the hosted Orion offering maintained by the Eclipse Foundation. All of the code is under the EDL(BSD) or EPL licenses, which are OSI-certified FLOSS licenses.

Orion is a development tool. It offers an excellent multi-language editing tool and an extensible tools platform which runs in your browser.

Some links:
http://orionhub.org/
http://eclipse.org/orion/
http://eclipse.org/

mobile layout

The current website doesnā€™t really work on mobile. We should adjust the CSS a bit to make it work. I guess itā€™s just some simple tweak to change the reflow, for instance that there are only always 2 or 3 projects next to each other per line ā€“ and we might even have to change the header style using a mobile media query.

Just thoughts for now. What do you think @jhuet @airon90 @yuwash?

incomplete parts in detail view

Oftentimes, Ā»similar toĀ«, Ā»alternative toĀ« and Ā»licenseĀ« is not filled out yet. Just having the text and no content there looks weird.

Instead, we should display: Ā»No similar sites added yetĀ«, Ā»No alternatives added yetĀ« and Ā»No license added yetĀ« for the respective part when thereā€™s none specified yet.

Wikidot is neither opensource nor free

I didn't find any statement that the platform of wikidot.com is using any free software. Additionally, though this does offer a free-as-in-free-beer wiki hosting plan, there is considerable limitation including forced ads, so it can't really be called free/libre. The ā€œunlimitedā€ free subscription for ā€œcommunity sitesā€ must undergo an intransparent approval process, whose criteria are not specified. See http://www.wikidot.com/plans

pump.io

This is pump.io. It's a stream server that does most of what people really want from a social network.
http://pump.io/

Openphoto and Pixlpaste

Openphoto should be deleted because you have to pay in order to host files.
I'd like to substitute it with Pixlpaste (source, AGPL), which permits to upload photos and to share them online

real i18n translation

With the new features came translations that requires variable handling. We now need a real i18n way for doing translations and not just a string replacement.

license & code

Currently we donā€™t have links to the source code. Iā€™m cleaning the games category up right now and will add the Ā»sourceĀ« attribute to data.json.

Also, the Ā»licensesĀ« attribute should only have one Ā»licenseĀ« ā€“ when itā€™s multi-licenses, we should just show the most permissive license.

Wikivoyage istead of Wikitravel

Wikitravel is a project bought by Internet Brands. So, I replaced it with Wikivoyage, a fork of Wikitravel maintained by Wikimedia Foundation.
It is added in my pull req.
Do we add it?

RSS Feed

It would be nice if there is an way to get informed about new projects.

Teamlab not opensource

Hi,
I can't find any mention about team lab being open source/libre nor free on their websites. So, I guess it should be removed.

offline capability

Libre Projects doesnā€™t work offline yet. But since itā€™s only a simple static site, thereā€™s no reason it should not.

What Iā€™d suggest we do is simply use the deploy mechanism of 5apps. Unlike Github pages which only serves the HTML,CSS,JS etc, we can add stuff like AppCache to make everything work offline. We already use 5apps for ToS;DR and Litewrite.

I just found that @jhuet and I already played around with it some months ago, but we never rerouted the domain to use 5apps. The drawback of course would be that changes would not directly reflect as they do with gh-pages, but need another deploy. But anyone of you can get an account at 5apps and I will add you to the libreprojects project, just let me know your account name.

What do you think @jhuet @airon90 @ironbishop @sindikat @yuwash @lucab?

make Search bar flow with header

Currently, on smaller resolutions, the search overlaps the page header. In order to make this theme mobile-friendly, need to redesign it a bit to allow it to flow under the header, or equivalent.

libertree

Libertree is free, libre, open-source software which is intended to provide a way for people to create their own social network. Libertree social networks can be free from commercial influence and manifestation, such as behaviour tracking, user profiling, advertising, data mining and analysis, and covert information filtering.

The Libertree Project is a community of people committed to empowering the people of the world to do things on and with computers, without need for or interference from big business, by way of providing software and other tools which can be obtained, bought or built with minimal cost and effort.
(quoted from the website for "The Libertree Project"

suggested data.json entry:
{"id":"libertree","category":"social","name":"Libertree","description":"social multi network","address":"http://libertreeproject.org/","licenses":["GNU Affero"],"tags ["social","network","decentralized","microblog"],"alternative":["facebook","google plus","twitter","friendica"]}

default favorites

Partly to advertise the favorites function, but also to simply showcase the best projects on the site which might be far down, there should be some default favorites.

What about: http://libreprojects.net/#favs=diaspora,owncloud,youtify,newsblur,openstreetmap,etherpad,mediagoblin,cloud9

These projects are all relevant and useful for many people (I use each almost daily), they are in active development and have a good community. I intentionally left out big projects such as Wikipedia, Reddit and Wordpress because they donā€™t need more advertisement.

Does that sound good? What do you think @jhuet? Also, how can we integrate that so that only people with no favorites yet get those added? Or maybe we should actually just do it for everyone ā€“ just add these projects on top of their existing favorites, regardless if they have none or some.

Ubuntu One

When looking for data for the Tools category i wanted to find similar projects to ownCloud and ran into Ubuntu One. I thought it could be a good addition here but found out that the code running on the server is not opensource but the client's are.

Because of that, i finally put it as an alternative, but i wanted your input on this.

moved libreprojects.net repository to organization

Just as info for all watchers and forkers: We moved the repository for http://libreprojects.net from my personal Github profile to this newly created organization.
This is because there are other awesome people working on this, especially @jhuet! Also, @ironbishop, @sindikat and @lucab made significant contributions. Thank you all for that!

Feel free to unwatch and unfork the original repo and watch & fork this new repository. Also follow libreprojects on Twitter, and check out the issue tracker!

Cheers. And onward!

Libre Projects news aggregator

  • aggregate feeds of listed free web projects
  • official blog, developer blogs, Diaspora, Identi.ca (include technical stuff like mailing list and git? Maybe with an option)
  • use Vanity (pure Javascript) for fetching feeds
  • also show the feeds in the detail view of a project
  • filterable by categories: graphics projects, music projects, ā€¦

tree.io

it's a groupware application

remotestorage apps

You might know I also work on unhosted web apps and remotestorage. There are a few apps working with this already (and they are all open source), for example Litewrite, and Sharedy (which is similar to Pixlpaste from #30).

The question now is if it is easy enough to understand how to use the apps with the storage. Essentially itā€™s like apps using Dropbox (while weā€™re at it ā€“ I wouldnā€™t say an app which requires a Dropbox account for storage is a Libre Project). What do you think @jhuet @airon90?

similar directories & lists

never show no search results

The instant search should never show no results (also not a Ā»no resultsĀ« notification)

For example, if you want to search for Ā»newsĀ« and then add a Ā»aĀ« by mistyping, Ā»newaĀ« will bring up no results. But there, the results of Ā»newĀ« should still show.

Games update

Back when we added all the games, there werenā€™t many good open source web games around. I mailed a bunch of developers, asking them to open source their games, and it was wildly successful.

Now though we need to review the listed games for quality and throw out bad or incomplete ones. Also, there are some new ones to find and review, and sometimes to ask the developer if they want to open source a great web game:

What about Emulators? The code is open source, the games obviously not ā€“ should we still include them? (if so, only when roms are included I think)

Games not fit for adding yet:

not really web-based

content free, platform not

ok if itā€™s a library, not ok if itā€™s a network with user accounts

Mailoo

Mailoo is a mail service built up with free software only.
I added it in my commit.
Do we add it?

See http://mailoo.org

Vanity

Vanity is a software which updates your data from social networks and online services in a single page.
I already added it in my commit.
Do we add it?

See http://vanity.tuxfamily.org

LocalWiki!

Hi All,

Wonderful project! We'd love to have our project LocalWiki (localwiki.org) added. We're a collaborative open (open source and open content) knowledge project focused on local knowledge.

Gitlab

Gitlab is a self-hosted alternative to Github. Might be good to add to the development section of libreprojects.

remove empty parameters in address

The first time a project is favorited, the address converts into something like this: http://libreprojects.net/#favs=youtify&scroll=
Instead, the &scroll= part should not be there as itā€™s empty (also, we should rename it to Ā»categoryĀ«).

Then when you remove the favorite again, the address will look like: http://libreprojects.net/#favs=&scroll=
Instead, it should completely remove the parameters as both are empty.

This also happens when opening a project detail page and closing it again, leaving the &project=

Fontsquirrel & Google web fonts

Several times I have now thought about adding Fontsquirrel, a directory of fonts Ā»100% free for commercial-useĀ«. The license is often SIL Open Font License, but oftentimes also one thought up by the font author.

Similarly Google web fonts: Thereā€™s a bunch of open source fonts there, but I am a) not really comfortable with adding a Google service to the site and b) not sure if they are all 100% open source because the focus seems to be Ā»use on the webĀ«.

We already have the great Open Font Library and The League of Movable Type which are more committed to openness. Some open source fonts are not listed on those sites, while they are on Fontsquirrel or Google web fonts. Iā€™m not sure though if we should include either of those as stated before. Mostly because then we would have 3 or more typography sites, and also because we could just get the missing typefaces added to Open Font Library instead.

What do you think? Iā€™d also like your input, @davelab6

remove protocol from links in database

Currently, data.json has Ā»http://Ā« prepended to each web address.

Instead, all addresses should be without any protocol and without trailing slash ā€“ that can be added in the JS template.
