Hello, I’d like to know your top open-source apps that you use every day. Here are mine:

On android, I guess, it's smth like: heliboard, mull, eternity, tubular (a newpipe fork), antennapod, feeder, simplex, element and slightly patched mercurygram.

As for the desktop, Firefox, keepassxc, anyrun (the app launcher) and cosmic-term would probably be the GUI apps I use most often; occasionally neovide if I feel like drooling on those sick cursor animations, mpv if I want to watch stuff without distractions, or kicad if I'm into making some electronics-related pet project. Other than that, my workflow is mostly terminal-centric, so the fish shell, coreutils, neovim, moreutils -- mostly vidir for visual bulk renaming and vipe for editing piped stuff in place (for one-time things that require, say, >2 seds) --, and so on.

What does Tubular do for you that the stock New Pipe doesn't? I'm also curious about neighbours, as I'm still using gBoard and I'd rather switch to something else that still supports swipe-typing.

Tubular has sponsor block too.

Do you mean Heliboard? It supports gesture typing, but you need to import the library you want.

Thanks. That Heliboard comment sent me down a rabbit hole. I don't really use glide typing, but in case any one's curious: scroll a bit down under this section on Heliboard's Github and you'll find the instructions on how to install the proprietary library. You'll also find a link shortly thereafter that leads you to the repo where you can download the needed library.

Neat little feature I wasn't aware was available for Heliboard. Cheers.

It would gBoard's autocorrect got one final dig in. I did indeed mean Heliboard, and I've now installed it with the glide extension and... it's great! Thanks for the reference!

Try futo keyboard. You don't even have to download a proprietary blob to enable gesture typing.

Which browser do you use KeepassXC on? I'm having trouble integrating it with any other browser than Firefox. Tried to integrate it with Brave on Fedora and Mac, lost hours and achieved nothing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't use browser extensions with it and just copy-paste stuff, unfortunately. Also it's mostly a failsafe in case my vaultwarden instance goes tits up

I see. Okay. Thanks.
