Voyager for Lemmy, Thunderbird email client, Firefox browser, Librera FD ebook reader, Mercurygram for Telegram, QUIK SMS, Material Files, LibreTube
I made my own curated list of open source software. Most of the software on there is stuff I use.
Wow, that’s cool, thank you! I’ll definitely explore it, and I think I’ll take a few apps for myself😁
- AnySoftKeyboard (love it!)
- FireFox
- KDE connect
- Librera FD
- Pepper&Carrot viewer (my son loves it)
- OsmAND
Mull, Mihon, Anytype, FlorisBoard, Librewolf
Anytype isn’t fully open source unfortunately. Only the sync protocols are.
Firefox, Matrix chat, Proxmox, Homarr, Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Overseer, Nextcloud, Bazzite, Lemmy, QBittorent, Immich, Home Assistant, Keepass, Thunderbird, and Debian.
If it’s free, it is for me.
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
vidirfor visual bulk renaming andvipefor editing piped stuff in place (for one-time things that require, say, >2seds) --, 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.
Try futo keyboard. You don’t even have to download a proprietary blob to enable gesture 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!
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.
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.

Dosbox (magic dosbox for android) Scummvm (scummvm for android) UnCiv Obsidian Obtainium URLCheck
Firefox, GCC, VS Code (sorry, but Microsoft actually made something decent there, and yes, I do feel dirty using it).
If you haven’t tried Zed I recommend giving it a try. I was skeptical about it at first, but it’s so much faster than VS Code, and it has a lot of great quality of life features built in.
If you dont build VS Code from source, you may consider using VSCodium.
On my Android: Fossify Gallery & Calendar, Thunderbird Mail, Eternity for Lemmy, AntennaPod, OSS Document Scanner, FUTO Keyboard, Gallery, KDE Connect, Moshidon (client for Mastodon), Next Player, Obtainium, (I wanted to have Logseq but I prefer Obsidian so I left it out), Swift Notes (I’m trying to get into).
On my Windows laptop: OnlyOffice Suite, Betterbird (Thunderbird, but better), FluentCast Podcast Player, FluentWeather, GIMP, Inkscape, KDE Connect, (I wanted to have Logseq but I prefer Obsidian so I left it out), Screenbox (VLC but modern and sexy), QuickLook, ShareX, Tenacity (Audacity fork that apparently is less controversial or something).
I was just looking for an alternative to the standard gallery on Xiaomi, thanks!
Welcome 😁. That’s how most of us started.
Damn, I didn’t know Screenbox exisited. I’ll start using it on my Windows desktop
Nice.
Here is a short list.
Pc: Cachyos(Preformant linux distro based on arch),Cinnamon (fork of Gnome 3),Librewolf (web browser)
Android phone:F-Droid(Appstore),Clipious(YouTube client but network is nonfree),aurora store(replaced Google play store with this and network nonfree),Iceraven (Web browser,Can be hardened as much as mull.),
Cross platform: Localsend(Airdrop for any device),Vlc media player
