900 Open
Software that runs on the hardware people already have.
Local-first, offline-capable, open source, no subscription.
Why we build it
Most business software assumes reliable broadband, a recent machine, and a payment card that can carry a monthly subscription. Where any one of those is missing, capable people are locked out of ordinary business tooling for reasons that have nothing to do with capability.
That is a market before it is a cause. We would rather be early in it than fashionable about it.
What is public today
Nine repositories at github.com/900Labs, permissively licensed:
- 900API
- 900CRM
- 900Image
- 900Invoice
- 900Notes
- 900Project
- 900Sheets
- 900Slides
- 900Word
900PDF is next.
The same discipline, at smaller stakes
What would falsify the claim that these tools help anyone? We intend to define that, measure it, and publish the method alongside the result.
We have not measured it yet. So we are not claiming it.
Structure and contributing
900 Open is planned to sit in a separate foundation or association.
Contributions are welcome. Start with the repositories, or write to us: hello@900labs.com
