<p>This page is dedicated to creating a list of decentralized
applications as an alternative to popular centralized ones. What follows
are different types of online tools that we use day-to-day, a
centralized example, and (if existent) a decentralized alternative. If
you have anything to add to this list, please send me a message via any
means available on my <a href="/contact.html" >contact page</a>. One
requirement is that the technology not only be decentralized, but also
<a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html" target="_blank" >
free software</a>. Some of these examples may be centralized but still
respecting your freedom, these will be marked with the prefix
"[free]".</p>
