Are there any websites or communities dedicated to finding offline alternatives to software that is unnecessarily-Internet based?
I can think of two use cases:
- Software-as-a-service for something that could easily be a downloadable program to run locally
- “Smart” devices that require you to connect to the Internet, and serve you ads
There are websites for finding FOSS alternatives to proprietary apps, EU alternatives to American services, etc. but I don’t see a website for local-app alternatives to online services.
There’s a lot of “awesome-X” lists, like https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted and https://github.com/Axorax/awesome-free-apps
