Tools that probably no one had heard of but are extremely helpful for Degoogling:
- Sustysubs.net - A list of alternative services
- A very useful tool that you can find privacy-friendly altermatives to proprietary services. You can suggest a service via Codeberg and/or Email

- Wizestream - A better NewPipe
- A NewPipe fork that intergrates Material Design 3 into the UI and includes things like ReturnYouTubeDislike, SponsorBlock, Dearrow, Learning tools, Invidious, subcription syncronization,

- LibreCuts - The only FOSS Android video editor for the professionals
- A video editor for Android that supports overlays and keyframes, which in my opinion, is the minimum requirment for a video editor to be "professional"

F-Droid:
- LibreFind - Community-driven app for finding alternative apps for Android
- LibreFind is probably the most well-known project listed here, but basically, you submit a FOSS alternative to a proprietary app, then wait for it to be approved. It also lists how many of your local apps are FOSS or not

- Pur.ili - Kagi if it was free
- Pur.ili is a private search engine that does not have big tech spy on you by secret. Unlike most "privacy friendly" search engines, like DuckDuckGo or Brave Search, this one has a completely independent index, meaning no contracts to big tech to let them spy on you by secret. The difference between this and Kagi? It doesn't require a paid subscription, so you can use it for free

How does the search engine support itself? I can't find that info on the site.
Edit: most recent blog entry doesn't sound good for well thought out longevity plans.
Monthly update, hand-written. Growing at 100% m-o-m however no more room for further index growth.
The last month I have introduced some additional features (translate) and have one question for the purili community: how to raise funds to allow for sustainable growth. Currently our server is nearing max capacity, and with only a 3 month runway left I would highly appreciate if anyone could step forward with ideas on how to effectively raise funds. Please email me at hello@puri.li
