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?

              Digital wallets (for things like cc, ID, coupons)
Map apps (like google maps)
Dating apps

For maps, there is already OpenStreetMap and its ecosystem. I particularly like OrganicMaps which is available for Android, iOS and Linux (beta).

OrganicMaps works really well even with Apple Carplay. I’m now a 100% relying on it.

OsmAnd

"Maps": as others have suggested: OsmAnd and OrganicMaps (I use OsmAnd as it covers my needs better than Google Maps or other apps)

"Dating Apps": There is Alovoa

but the problem is who you will find on there, as everyone is on other apps

I know them all but they can't hold up with their proprietary counterparts both by userbase and features.

Haven't tried Alovoa, but think of it differently; if someone is on Alovoa, they maybe are more similar-minded to you, because they too probably like open source stuff.

I like your "the glass is half full" attitude, however their signup seems to be broken.

Ah, rip, that may be an issue😆

Catima for a digital wallet

That doesn't seem to support credit cards
