We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let's change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:

  1. Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
  2. No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
  3. Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

Let's create a comprehensive list of open-source software that everyone should know about!

Newpipe, an YouTube client, which is:

  • ad free

  • lightweight

  • useful, it allows downloading videos, music, and playing them when screen is locked

  • usable without account

  • multi-platform, it can also serve as client for the PeerTube, Bandcamp, SoundCloud

Also shoutout to Tubular which is the same thing, but with SponsorBlock for youtube

In my experience, PipePipe updates more frequently and works better, while also having sponsorblock

I use it for media.ccc.de and it's decent, except the events are not sorted by date and they don't have captions unlike the YouTube mirrors.
