What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for? (lemmy.world)

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

I keep hearing people recommend signal messenger as an alternative to discord, and honestly that's the most obvious sign you don't actually use discord

Yeah signal is amazing for one to one or small groups, but not for what discord servers are used for.

But to be honest, many discord servers are used for things they really shouldn't be used for... Like code documentation and bug tracking

Well some people use Discord as a messenger for some reason and for them Signal is probably the best but yea it's not a Discord alternative at all
