Web services

󰃭 2024-10-23

Privacy-respecting front-ends and alternatives to various web services. The front-ends feature a minimalist display, free of ads and other cruft.

Please contact me if there are any issues with these services.

  • AnonymousOverflow : Alternative front-end for StackOverflow
  • BreezeWiki : Alternative front-end for Fandom wikis
  • Dumb : Alternative front-end for Genius (lyrics service)
  • Elk : Alternative front-end for Mastodon
  • FreshRSS : FreshRSS instance
  • hckrnws : Alternative front-end for Hacker News
  • Jargonfile : A fork of https://github.com/agiacalone/jargonfile with custom CSS. It is the Community Edition of the Jargon File, a classic historical reference for hackish tradition, culture, and folklore.
  • Lemmy : A social link-aggregation and discussion platform in the fediverse. It's a self-hosted alternative to Reddit. Mostly privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, but other topics are welcome.
  • LibreMDB : Alternative front-end for IMDB.
  • Lingva Translate : Language translation service.
  • MeMe : Alternative front-end to Know Your Meme
  • Nerds for Nerds : Alternative front-end for GeeksForGeeks.
  • PrivateBin : A minimalist, open source online pastebin where the server has zero knowledge of pasted data. Data is encrypted/decrypted in the browser using 256 bits AES. More information on the project page.
  • RedLib : Alternative front-end for Reddit
  • SearXNG : A free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from more than 70 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled. Additionally, SearXNG can be used over Tor for online anonymity.

These services cost monies to run on a dedicated hosting server, so I would be most grateful for any donations to my Ko-fi account. 🥹
