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?

What features do you feel are missing in the open source options?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

There always something missing, like

Not available on all platforms
No sync, or only to some corporate cloud service
Missing formatting/linking/calculation/organization/sharing capabilities
No/Limited/Only drawings
Clunky/Unfinished/Buggy

Every app is different, but I have yet to find one that ticks all the boxes.
