Remember, for every paid SaaS, there is a free open-source self-hosted alternative. Let’s take a look at 10 FOSS tools designed to replace popular tools like MS Office, Notion, Heroku, Vercel, Zoom, Adobe, and more.

⭐ Repos mentioned
I just want you to know how much I appreciate the fact that you typed out the list of repos mentioned in the video, since you know many people are not going to watch the video but still want the information.
I mean this. Thank you. You are awesome and deserve cake.
Paying for software is not inherently stupid. Bad and misleading title.
It’s just clickbait, which is unavoidable on youtube if you want your video to be seen by more than 5 people. I don’t blame the creator for it tbh, especially because this title is not really misleading, just an opinion.
One if the reasons why I avoid YouTube completely.
Agreed, you are paying for it to be someone else’s problem to fix.
I don’t like statements like “paying for software is stupid”. Developers for Free software have this long standing issue that many people don’t want to pay them. Paying and using closed source proprietary software is stupid, especially if there is good free and open source libre alternatives.
We need to figure out a monetization plan how to make people want to pay for free software. This will not only incentivize doing Free software, it also makes it possible for people making a living out of it. Everyone benefits from it!
Maybe it’s time to start funding software infrastructure the way we fund physical infrastructure - with tax dollars.
FOSS developers should be paid.
They should put ads in their stuff
I think software developers deserve to be paid for their work. What an odd title.
Donate to FOSS developers if you find the software useful, but don’t give a cent to big tech companies.
3 minutes in before its revealed its actually a sponsored video to advertise daily.dev
