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 you'd love alternatives for?

That would be awesome. I wish banks would also have standardized (or at least open) APIs so I could use FOSS financial software to pull my live purchase history and then categorize that and etc. I think some banks do this, but not very common in the US from what I can tell.

Yeah, if banks had open and standardised APIs we could all use the same FLOSS banking app โ€” or choose from any of a bazillion FLOSS apps. Instead they're going the authoritarian route and locking customers in with bloated black box, proprietary apps...
