Web-based Open Source

[lmemsm]

Thought it would be fun to consolidate my list of Open Source apps that work via the web. You can use them right in your browser without having to download or install any software.

There are several web/server based FLOSS projects. Plus, it's now easier than ever to convert some popular desktop Open Source projects to the web using techniques such as Web Assembly. I'll add other examples to this list as I find them.

One of the best collections I've found that lists several FLOSS projects designed to work through a browser over the Internet is Libre Projects:

It's been around a while, so I don't know how up-to-date the links are but it has some great examples of web based projects that share their source code.

If you're a fan of Audacity, the audio editor, or Tenacity, a great fork of audacity, check out this online fork of the audio editor:

TinyGL has been ported to the web. Click on the graphic examples to see them in action. I personally like the Atlantis example with the whales:

I've a huge fan of the JavaScript aquarium written in under 20 lines of JavaScript. There's also an asteroid game in under 20 lines.

kribbel@mastodon.social recommended Stendhal. It requires a login, but it's FLOSS and it looks like it could be a lot of fun.
