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?

Exchange and Outlook for business use.
No nothing else comes close.
It’s the last app in MS Office that does not have competition. LibreOffice fills ever other app well enough but nothing comes close to exchange and Outlook. Considering they are trying to kill it off with an always online website (OWA) we need foss competition asap.
Nextcloud with OnlyOffice?
Not close, notice how i didnt say office but Outlook, we are talking apps here not services.
Have you tried Thunderbird after version 115? Also, what's so special about Exchange? It's just another (proprietary) email server, isn't it? Couldn't you just use Dovecot?
Ill respond to the loaded question with my own. If you have worked in an enterprise environment you would know the answer.
Calendaring is so far from capable. Room and resource management to.
The company I work at lets everyone choose between Roundcube (webmail) or Thunderbird as a native client. We don't have Outlook or Lotus Notes anymore (thankfully, because Notes is such a terrible piece of shit, it's unbelievable). I don't know what they use for their email server, but it's definitely not Exchange.
