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!

to publish ios apps you need to run xcode, last time I checked (admittedly it's been 7ish years) - and you need to build on mac hardware. none of which is cheap, especially for devs who don't see any additional revenue from their ios apps.

They also force you to pay a 99USD yearly fee just for the privilege of being a developer.

IOS and any apple device is shockingly expensive to develop for.
