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.
Feeder, a RSS reader for Android. It has great UI, is fast at finding and parsing .xml from a link and has a comfortable reading experience. It has basicslly replaced social media for me besides the fediverse. The only thing I wish it had was more customizability. Being able to install Nord theme on it would be great.
Can you suggest any RSSifiers, for sites/services lacking an RSS API?
I personally don't use a RSSifier as all the sites I want to subscribe to tend to have a rss.xml or a atom.xml. There is https://rss.app/ which has rss feed generator but I am pretty sure it is not FOSS. Not to mention it uses AI and I don't like the idea of handing over all the websites I read to a third party company. As for FOSS you would be hard pressed to find one as it is an expensive thing to run. Best thing to do is send a message to the creator of the website you would like a RSS feed. It is not a hard thing to set up and they will probably do it at your request.
