What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?
(sh.itjust.works)
I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well.
It gets relegated to playing Fraggle Rock and Bluey on repeat for my kiddo these days, but I am absolutely in love with the software.
What are some other FOSS gems that are a better experience UX/UI-wise than their proprietary counterparts?
EDIT: Autocorrect turned something into "smaller" instead of what I meant it to be when I wrote this post, and I can't remember what I meant for it to say so it got axed instead.
Says no Chromecast support. I'm also not sure why someone would develop a 3rd party app for jellyfin android when jellyfin is open source and they could just contribute to the main repo. Gives a weird feeling that makes me think it's either not going to be supported for long because it's an underplanned side-project or is doing something dodgy
Findroid is a complete rewrite of the Jellyfin app, merging it into the official one is unfortunately not feasible.
Don't go around calling long supported open source apps "dodgy". If you actually used the app you would know that its a completly different codebade. Feel free to audit the source code if its "dodgy".
