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 ๐Ÿ˜Ž 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 youโ€™d love alternatives for?

Many of the clients donโ€™t even have a sign up option, you need to sign up elsewhere first.

Itโ€™s inconvenient, sure, but think of it as an assurance that youโ€™re not locked in with one app.

That said, I completely agree that Matrix and Element need to work on UX, particularly making it easy for new users to adopt it as well as verification/device switching.
