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?

    IDK why this always gets downvoted. UI/UX some of the biggest issues with FOSS software, and is a massive barrier to entry to someone who isn’t a massive computer nerd willing to put up with that shit.

      I guess they take any criticism of open source as if you are against the whole movement. I don’t understand either.

      honestly i don’t even think it’s a FOSS problem, this is a problem with every UI ever made in the last three years essentially.

      Unless it’s literally making money off of you having an account, there is no incentive to design a good UI from the ground up. The solution here ironically, is simply don’t skill issue, or document it very well.
