This is why I always say we need to create federated and open source solutions. At the minimum we need apps that are not locked down to SaaS providers.


Are there any federated and open source solutions from 2002 that are still running today?


email, IRC, BitTorrent, DNS, BGP


All but one (arguably two) of those predate the web, incidentally.


I’m a bit lost here. How does one implement this PlantStudio software in email (or the other communication protocols you mentioned)?


You don't, but that wasn't the question.
