Hi, was wondering if anyone knew of an app where you can use your camera to scan documents (like Adobe Scan) which is FOSS.

OSS Document Scanner is great. It's also available in the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repository: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.akylas.documentscanner

One person can't do it. When you're making FOSS you're standing on the shoulders of giants. Most of the code that makes up this app wasn't coded by the developer of this app. Also, there are multiple people committing code to this repository, so it literally isn't just one guy developing this app specifically.
