What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for? (lemmy.world)

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?

Notion + OneNote/Samsung Notes

There is a myriad of open source notes apps, but none of them really hit the spot for me.

Have you seen anytype? Its a nice alternative to Notion

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yup. It looks promising and I've tried it a few times, but it still has a long way to go before it can replace Notion for me. Also, self-hosting it is a complete mess right now, definitely not ready for everyday use.

Same, been eyeing and testing Anytype since alpha, and honestly it doesn’t feel intuitive at all. I tried, I really did, but it just feels like I’m going against the grain in every way to try to use it in daily life in its current state :/ don’t get me wrong, I love their values and what they’re trying to do. But it feels so convoluted at the moment
