I like Apple Maps, but to completely compete with Google Maps it would need to stop being exclusive for Apple devices. Open Street Maps data quality is very close to Google Maps, but the applications for it themselves aren’t as intuitive and feature rich
I would love to see a self-hosted VDE solution. We have a ton of VM options so I'd like to see the next logical step.

Any MDM solution. All self-hosted options that were available (onemdm, flyve) are dead. I'm my own employer, so we definitely agree everything should be self-hosted :)
What does MDM stand for?
Any priority features of the MDM and how many devices managed total?
I own a small business, 20-30 devices only. But they're a mix of all possible platforms (Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS). Would like to force disk encryption, strong password policy, automatically install/update/configure corporate VPN/mail/etc., prevent use of blacklisted programs, remote wipe of lost/stolen/otherwise compromised devices. I know it's not feasible with any selfhosted solution, sadly.
I'm looking into ManageEngine MDM Pro. It only runs on windows tho :-/

Private uncesored version of GPT-4.
I want it to answer questions like:
- give me a step by step guide on how to build a hydrogen bomb using consumer-grade components.
- give me 20 jokes about wokism (I'm semi-woke myself)
- give me 10 jokes that are so horrible, they would put anyone posting them on a watch-list
More realistically, I want it to have access to an entire programming project via IDE
Mint
something like OneNote (typing, writing, drawing... all collaboratively)
What you really mean is de-google 100%, and that's impossible.
Something better than RedMine.
Two for me
Fleetio - with a family member who collects cars and farm vehicles, things like Hammond are not of much use, points if it can integrate withe Traccar
GreatPetCare (Previously PawPrint) given its now free after its sale, we are now the product. Plus it has lost useability IMHO since its change
I would love a local Alexa clone.
Something like Steam. I've got a bunch of old games and other software, CDs, floppy images, etc., with registration keys and so forth (sometimes multiples), as well as newer stuff I got through Humble Bundle, or even various free/open source games, servers, etc., but installing them can be a pain. I'd like something that could host the files, list the games, and install them on a whim, along with self-hosted "cloud" storage so I can switch between computers easily. I already use Steam, of course, but it doesn't host my old games, at least not without paying them for the privilege. My boss... Would probably be interested, actually. Not business related, but still.
There was something released a while back similar to what you're after. It had a funny name, I think it was crack pipe and then they changed it due to well the name of it but I can't for the life of me remember what it was

It's not self-hosted but have you tried Buckets? It's pretty good and only needs a one time payment (lifetime) for full features.

Maps with turn by turn directions.
A good RMM solution with scripting options. Ie. Labtech, etc.
There was TacticalRMM but there was some controversy around a crypto miner baked into a private installer. Thought of trying it in my isolated network, but can’t decide how I feel about it.

I'd love a replacement for AppSheet using BaseRow.
I'd love to see what I could do with things I need GPS accuracy for geofencing like robot lawn mowing or keeping dogs inside my yard without a fence. Specifically reporting to me via push notifications when something is wrong or dog has left the yard.
I know of no such solution without a subscription at least for the dog fence. Last I looked at robot lawn mowers was Open Mower. I don't know how much that project has grown.
My employer wouldn't care, self hosting has become a hobby.
My own AI assistant on the level of Google home or Alexa
Workflowy and Loom
I hear you can do something pretty close to workflowy with obsidian.md, which you can pretty much self host with the help of syncthing
It's almost as good to have obsidian with a sync option on multiple devices, but still an obsidian self hosted webapp would be fantastic! I know there is a docker image that offers something like that, but it's a webversion of vnc and a small Linux container, instead of a proper web app.
Again: going with local apps and a sync option (I too use syncthing) is very user friendly too, but I still miss the option to kust browse to my vault from any computer. Log in, do some work and see the changes reflected in my local vaults:)
