Open Source Philosophy
Fairlx is built on the principles of transparency, community collaboration, and user empowerment.
Why Open Source?
We believe that the tools you use to manage your work should be transparent and trustworthy. Open source allows you to:
- Inspect the code — Know exactly what the software does with your data
- Contribute improvements — Help make the platform better for everyone
- Self-host if needed — Run Fairlx on your own infrastructure
- Avoid vendor lock-in — Your data and workflows are never held hostage
Transparency
Everything about Fairlx is open:
- Source Code — Available on GitHub under a permissive license
- Roadmap — Public roadmap showing upcoming features
- Pricing — No hidden fees or surprise charges
- Security — Regular security audits and responsible disclosure
Tip
You can view our source code, report issues, and contribute at github.com/stemlen/Fairlx.
Community Driven
Fairlx is shaped by its community. We actively:
- Listen to feature requests and feedback
- Review and merge community contributions
- Discuss roadmap priorities publicly
- Provide support through community channels
Self-Hosting Option
While we offer a managed cloud service, you always have the option to self-host Fairlx:
- Full control — Run on your own servers
- Data sovereignty — Keep all data within your infrastructure
- Customization — Modify the platform to fit your needs
- No recurring fees — Just your infrastructure costs
Note
Self-hosting documentation and deployment guides are available in our GitHub repository.
