We integrate open-source software for you to pay less in long-term and own your data.
We believe that p2p services based on open-source is better, than unfair-priced SaaS products within shared economy.
Imagine your Uber taxi stops, catches another person, makes a detour and only then finishes the ride. Or AirBnB decides that a stranger will live in the place you're renting, because it's "optimal".
Digital SaaS companies make this every single day.
Stage: idea, 2 showcases
| SaaS | 0x0 | |
|---|---|---|
| Plan | hard-coded options, sometimes you pay "per human" even if they're inactive | you decide: market-driven for services, sufficient for hardware resources |
| Roadmap | they decide | you decide and free to fork |
| Dedicated features | expensive enterprise plan, still no promises | bid for your wish on a free market |
| Billing | separate different bills and cycles | single check |
| What your paying for | all features (including not needed future), rent hardware (for that "free-plan" guy as well), all staff (including theirs marketing team) | your hardware (buy or rent), market-driven for price additional (custom) services |
- install with a single command (on-premise too!)
- transfer your data (import archives exported thanks to gdpr)
- get updates guidelines and support

Yes, we are aginst any vendor-lock (if target-saas is welcoming digital nomads)
Yes, because you own your data and free to move it anywhere else, anytime.
Yes, but we're thinking towards a federated solution w/o a central server.
| Saas | Oss | |
|---|---|---|
| Inheritance | No | Fork |
| Incapsulation | API | Protocol |
| Polymorphism | ? | Standards, RFC |
- selfhosted opensource groupware doesn't have to scale to millions requsts-per-second, it just needs to work
- under big timepressure you don't strictly need to follow some api, you can manipulate the database directly: this can ease introducing various integrations (no need to wait properly upstream-approved api extension) ofc, as any boundary violation this has its drawbacks, however with a 3rd-party SaaS you NEVER can do that
- Matrix: bridges between messaging platforms
- ActivityPub: protocol-first
- Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB): offline-friendly secure gossip protocol
- Fedeverse: federation approach
