Ask HN: Open-source web apps

This is a proposal to all the developers at HN who believe in open-source coding. There are a lot of open source desktop apps but no open-source web apps.

I would like to initiate a project where all developers who wish to participate can join together in creating web apps.

I am proposing that we get together and build simple, usable web apps that others can build upon and extend to meet their needs.

The creators of the applications can still offer a paid hosted version but they must also offer a free version that anyone can self-host.

What do you guys think? Would anyone be interested?
