Just to shout out and promote some examples about this, this has been
the sourcehut project [1] motto and I've seen on some other minor
projects as the miniflux app [2] and qutebrowser [3] folow the same idea
(kind of).

It has also been the subject of a long (but good!) discussion on
LibrePlanet Discuss in the last days about this subject, if any of you
people are interested [4].

Best regards,
Pedro Lucas
