It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win ๐Ÿ˜Ž but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

@ClearCutCoconut Yes, exactly.
Signal is nice but there is a lot of communication in Whatsapp.

It's still relevant to this question, but I don't think the problem is the app itself. A new app likely won't help solve this problem

Cloud backups are on the way and I imagine that will help give Signal a boost

Completely agree. At this point it seems like it just needs time for the momentum to build (more and more users vouching for it). I didn't know they were adding cloud backups, that's great. Usernames have been helping too, I think!
