I love the cool DIY vibes on itch, but it’s troubling how much commercial closed-source tech you see on there. Also itch itself is not a free-software platform. They encourage gamedevs to share their games, but themselves don’t share their software… just as hypocrit as evil Github!
My questions are:
- is there a free-software itch-like platform? maybe even a federated one where you don’t need a centralized server?
- is there an itch-like platform dedicated to free-software games?
I remember there were a few projects like that YEARS AGO in the early days of Steam but i don’t remember the names and i don’t know how successful they were.
Anyway, are folks from this community interested in this?
I actually once started doing a front-end for a web app store but never finished. Since idk how to use git I never published it on Github/gitea/gitlab so its just sitting on my computer. I guess if anyone wants to use it they can just contact me.
Actually, I’d like. How can I contact you??
