I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.
I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.
I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.
I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services. 
Honestly the only reason I care about #p2p and #localfirst #web stuff is because it gives us practical tools to have nothing but what we have in our pocket and still be able to work with information technology and collaborate with others.
Everything else is just fun extras. :P
It pains me that communities need to either pay a corpo to own all of their shit or deal with complex nerd shit like the cloud to host their own (which is still paying some corpo eventually)
@mauve I'm slowly trying to make a search engine service where you can set up your own search engines. The idea is to make it an offline-first service with no cost. And because of p2p the server costs of hosting will be minimal, so the service could have a really low price. It's basically a freemium business model, but where the free tire users doesn't cost money, and the paying customers also has a very low cost.
