- I think having a proper #API is a way to facilitate that, cuz worst-case one just slaps together some #aliases in #bash, #fish, #zsh or whatever #shell and just uses #curl to query stuff manually as this solves the whole #WebApp - issue.
And I do prefer #FLOSS as it works fine for an ever increasing audience!
- Even if we choose to point at bad #UX / #UI combos like #GnuPG, we've to also acknowledge better existing alternatives like #enc that just work!
Personally, I think that everything people are expected to use if not forced to use should be #OpenSource as licensed in a #OSI accredited license and be released with #SourceCode and #documentation to make #reproduceableBuilds and thus facilitate #audits by truly independent parties...
- And if that's not possible any requirement to using said things should be outlawed no matter the context!
A unsarcastically good example is #S3, even tho I hate #amazon, they wanted #developers to integrate their #ObjectStorage which necessitated an #open source'd API to the point that it's #backend is inherently reproduceable, and now every halfassing #Webhoster offers S3 #storage, sometimes with bit & second-precise billing.
