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?

    • Map apps (like google maps)
    • Dating apps

        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

        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.

        I know them all but they can’t hold up with their proprietary counterparts both by userbase and features.
