- FairCamp turns a folder of audio into a complete static site with a web player, playlists, RSS, downloads, and optional purchase or unlock flows.
- The article frames it as more useful than a simple Bandcamp alternative because it solves self-hosted publishing on infrastructure you control.
- Emphasis is on free, non-profit, AGPLv3+ software that avoids ongoing server maintenance and does not require coding.
- The article also points to embeds, accessibility, responsive layouts, and private or unlisted releases as part of the appeal.
