What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?
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?

What about Signal?? I know it's not perfect but it seems like more people are using it each year. Whatsapp really has the majority of the market though, and it is so difficult to get people to change messaging apps (in the US at least, where I swear 95% of people have an iPhone and a superiority complex)
@ClearCutCoconut Yes, exactly.
Signal is nice but there is a lot of communication in Whatsapp.
It's still relevant to this question, but I don't think the problem is the app itself. A new app likely won't help solve this problem
Cloud backups are on the way and I imagine that will help give Signal a boost
Completely agree. At this point it seems like it just needs time for the momentum to build (more and more users vouching for it). I didn't know they were adding cloud backups, that's great. Usernames have been helping too, I think!
