Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative? (programming.dev)

I'm currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I'm currently out of ideas, so I'd like to heard if from you guys.

Sorry if it seems to lazy to ask for ideas like that, I just thought that I could do it since the result will be a free app.

IMO Obsidian is already a little rogue, in the sense that it only supports their sync. I know you can glue something together by syncing the folder itself, but that's not convenient or the point. For now I'll stick with Joplin because it works with nextcloud nicely.

There is at least plugins that enables sync by alternative ways. They're not as elegant, but work.

Since everything, including settings, is stored in the same root folder as the notes - you can sync your settings along your notes through other tools too.

Oh, I'll take a look at those plugins.
