NPM Uninstall Facebook

Facebook’s relentless abuse of their position is making them difficult to support. Unfortunately, their products and open source projects have a large impact on our everyday lives.

Some people understandably, want to distance themselves as far as possible from Facebook, so this site provides alternatives to well known Facebook products, or products that are heavily reliant on Facebook technologies.

It is not a call to boycott Facebook or their open source contributions. People are of course, welcome to make those decisions on their own.

Contribute

There are many open source projects by Facebook that are not listed here, yet. Please add your knowledge of alternatives by following this guide:

1. Fork this repository.
2. Add a new .md file in items that is {existingTech}.md.
   For example: react.md.
3. Fill out the details. Here's the template:

   ---
   title: 'React'
   slug: 'react'
   alternatives:
     - title: 'Preact'
       link: 'https://preactjs.com'
     - title: 'Vue'
       link: 'https://vuejs.org'
   ---
   React is a _very_ popular JavaScript library that helps developers create state-driven, component-based user interfaces.

4. Create a pull request and after your site has been approved by an admin, it'll appear on https://npm-uninstall-facebook.com!

npm-uninstall-facebook's Issues

Why Gatsby?

Hey !

I love this! From what I know Gatsby is its own company

Is it because it's based on react ?

Uninstall more than Facebook?

Could the focus of this resource be expanded beyond just Facebook and include as many surveillance-based companies as necessary? Google seems to behave just as badly as Facebook, for example, which would rule out Angular as an alternative to React.

Why?

Not sure why you treat the Facebook entity as a whole for the recent issues.

For me the opensource soul running at FB and their main product issues are not the same things.

My apology if I'm wrong, but I read this repo description and my feeling is "Oh, Facebook is doing something bad, perhaps we need to start to get rid of their every contribution to the opensource world".

If this is true, it will be the childish and shallowest reason I have ever seen.

Remove GraphQL from the website

There is no reason to boycott the usage of GraphQL, as it is no longer affiliated with Facebook.

Babel

I see Babel and Babylon in your package-lock.json. Babel (at least 5.x and 6.x) was primarily developed by a Facebook employee. 😄

Jest

Cannot speak into alternatives but thought i'd add it here.

Website is down
