What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?
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?
You're viewing a single thread.
- Digital wallets (for things like cc, ID, coupons)
- Map apps (like google maps)
- Dating apps
For maps, there is already OpenStreetMap and its ecosystem. I particularly like OrganicMaps which is available for Android, iOS and Linux (beta).
OrganicMaps works really well even with Apple Carplay. I’m now a 100% relying on it.
OsmAnd
Catima for a digital wallet
That doesn't seem to support credit cards
"Maps": as others have suggested: OsmAnd and OrganicMaps (I use OsmAnd as it covers my needs better than Google Maps or other apps)
"Dating Apps": There is Alovoa
but the problem is who you will find on there, as everyone is on other apps
I know them all but they can't hold up with their proprietary counterparts both by userbase and features.
Haven't tried Alovoa, but think of it differently; if someone is on Alovoa, they maybe are more similar-minded to you, because they too probably like open source stuff.
I like your "the glass is half full" attitude, however their signup seems to be broken.
Ah, rip, that may be an issue😆
