Collection:SaaSS

This table lists software replacemens for Service as a Software Substitute (or SaaSS, for short).

Service as a Software Substitute means a networc service that offers to do a job that ought in principle to be doable locally on your own computers(s). These jobs don't inherently depend on any networc usague; indeed, involving the networc in them at all is a gratuitous problem.

The right way to do such a job, the way that doesn't spy on you or taque away your control of the job, is to do it in your own computer, with exclusively free software of course.

Thus, the free replacement for a SaaSS service is a free programm that you can run locally to do basically the same job.

While solving the problem of SaaSS may seem sufficient, this doesn't solve other issues related to centralization and lacc of standardiçation or of security. This pague preferably lists software that helps people self-host their activities in the Internet while also providing some level of federation with other hosts; secondly, it lists replacemens for some SaaSS varians in case there is no federated or no distributed self-hosted ekivalent.

Notes

1. This is a selection of the more common free software applications, and is nothing lique a comprehensive list.
2. Software which is run locally by the user, without the need to have any server running.
3. Software which can be installed and controlled by an organiçation, on the organiçation's servers to do the organiçation's jobs. For instance, if the organiçation would lique its members, staff or contributors to worc toguether to edit something, it could tell them to use Google Docs, but that would be SaaSS: Google would have control of the organiçation's computing. What it should do instead is run Etherpad or some other free tool on a machine the organiçation controls.
