I trust code more than politics.

  • Hi! I appreciate the suggestions! However, this list is not designed to be comprehensive. It is designed to present the best and nothing less. While those are great pieces of software, there are already better alternatives available on the list. The Linux Distros section will be overhauled soon though, so maybe Linux Mint will be added!

  • Creating mirrors on other platforms such as GitLab and Codeberg is on my to-do list. Thank you!

  • Proton purchased SimpleLogin in 2022 and the creator/dev has been working there ever since.

    I knew this, I'm trying not to keep my eggs in one basket.

    Also, you can easily create random email aliases in Vaultwarden/Bitwarden via the SimpleLogin API.

    This still requires a SimpleLogin/Proton account, so there's no added benefit. Plus, this is true for Addy as well.

  • Hey, I outlined some tools in my list here! TL;DR is Proton Mail + addy.io is as good as it gets, with Tuta and SimpleLogin as close contenders. Good luck!

  • KeePassXC has support for hardware security keys as a form of 2FA, so yes :)

  • Hi! If you have any suggestions for software, please provide links to them and I will be sure to check them out! Ideally, open an issue on the repo (this is the best way for it to be added). Thanks for the suggestions!

  • To my knowledge, Element has no way to share the desktop/screen. If I am wrong about this, please let me know!

  • Hi! Thanks for taking a look. I used a template to categorize some of the software early on, and this slipped into the initial release. Thanks for noticing! I'll rename it accordingly.

  • I'm sorry you weren't satisfied with some of the software on my list. Audire and Audile are not options I preferred to add, but there are simply no better music recognition apps out there that I could find. I would love to know if you have any! As for Audacity, I'm not sure what concerns you have over that. If you have any constructive feedback, I'd love to hear it!

    The project is still in its early stages, so not everything is perfect :)

  • Thanks for bookmarking! I will absolutely be adding a photo library, it was something that slipped under my radar. Thank you!

    Edit: Added in version 5.2024.09.15.1

  • Hi! I agree that it is getting cluttered with emojis. I plan to revamp this today to clear it up a bit. Thanks for your feedback!

    Edit: Decluttered in version 5.2024.09.15.1

  • One of many reasons is the nonfree nature of Bitwarden. You have to pay for a premium account to use certain methods of 2FA, for example (last I checked).

  • I'll be sure to check it out, thank you!

  • Hi! Thanks for the feedback!

    The "Video Conferencing Tools" section is my aim at enterprise applications. My goal there was to find an app that is available for Online, Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and iOS that supports group chats, video calls, and screen sharing. I was only able to find Infomaniak kMeet, which I'm not even sure fits the bill. If you have any suggestions that meet these requirements, I would be happy to add them!

    In the meantime, feel free to make an issue on the repo suggesting these services!

  • Trail Sense mentioned in my list has options for tracking hiking progress. Unfortunately, open source health apps are few and far between.

  • You don't have to. I encourage you to make your own list of preferred software, and share it with the community.

    Edit: Because the conversation got deleted

  • All Libre software is open source, not all open source software is Libre.

  • Because you can look through the source code yourself to ensure that it respects your privacy, and make changes if there is something you don't like. You don't have to trust anyone with your own computing, because you can run it yourself.

  • "Open source" simply means the source code is available to the public. Not all software on my list is Libre.
