Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative? (programming.dev)

I'm currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I'm currently out of ideas, so I'd like to heard if from you guys.

Sorry if it seems to lazy to ask for ideas like that, I just thought that I could do it since the result will be a free app.

It's about a quick glance on a location and reading some reviews quickly. There is a workaround with open street maps integrating google reviews but it's again relying on google at this point.

Well if openstreetmaps implemented the same thing it would be useless because there are not many people using it

It would grow. Just to have the ability would be nice. A lot of people also would start to write reviews to be the first etc. We got to start somewhere, same as with the Fediverse. We could even combine it.

Yea having the ability would be nice. I'm not sure it's possible to implement without sacrificing privacy though
