So cool to learn about these, thanks! I’ve tried and failed to self-host Nextcloud in the past, but really need to give it another go. Their contacts app is also something I’ve wanted for a while now.

This looks promising, thank you! I’m a novice self-hoster and look forward to learning more about this one.

The question everyone’s dying to know

deleted by creator

From their mastodon:

so my goal with sup. is to make a federated snapchat/whatsapp that is compatible with most platforms. This was originally going to be a Pixelfed specific Messenger-like app, but then it hit me - this is a perfect opportunity to create a sub project that could be eventually handed over to a trusted org.

Seems like a fine ambition but Pixelfed is still in beta and buggy as hell. I’d like to see that improve (so that more people will want to use it) first.

Lame answer but YouTube. Channels in the vein of freecodecamp.org and Stanford Online are incredible. Any skill, hobby, repair, or question I can think of probably has videos there.

Thanks!

What’s EEE?

Incredible list, thanks for linking everything! I look forward to checking out yattee and netnewswire. Probably a lot more. I’d add Omnivore (Pocket alternative) to the fully foss list. And Proton Drive is out of testing now I think.

Seconding Ice Cubes. I had so many clients on my phone during a test phase, evaluating how notifications looked, how smooth they felt, and if it comes with all features for free. Ice cubes can be a little clunky but won the competition.

What will the next social media trend be? Seems like the centralized options are done for (FB, TW, Reddit), but they’re not being replaced by any single solutions. Tiktok took mainly genZ. Professionals have been wanting a twitter replacement to move to since musk and have yet to figure it out (bluesky, tribel, post social, takes, mastodon, etc has no apparent frontrunner). Political apps segmented some off like parler and the right stuff. Decentralized and foss apps have all kinds of solutions but won’t likely ever attract a huge crowd. So are we seeing the end of of an era of massive centralized social media?

Headsets already feel outdated. They seem inconvenient, uncomfortable, and take you away from life instead of enhancing it. Whatever happened to google glass? I disliked that for many reasons but at least it wasn’t a headset.

Omnivore! It’s just a “read it later” app, but so nice to use. I enjoy newsletters again, because they all go there instead of in my emails, and they all have a uniform look to them now. Sorting by labels and syncing highlights to my Obsidian inbox page are great features. And they said bulk editing is coming soon.

Also bitwarden, lichess, and qbitorrent.
