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 😎 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?

Exchange and Outlook for business use.

No nothing else comes close.

It’s the last app in MS Office that does not have competition. LibreOffice fills ever other app well enough but nothing comes close to exchange and Outlook. Considering they are trying to kill it off with an always online website (OWA) we need foss competition asap.

Krita & OpenToonz handle just about everything I need as an animator/artist, but I'm worried about OpenToonz continued development. I worry that there aren't enough people working on it.

A clean redshift application for Android, like redmoon. I found something but it's not quite there.

Something actually good to replace Google Docs, the current alternatives are either paid or not feature complete (or both).

Notion + OneNote/Samsung Notes

There is a myriad of open source notes apps, but none of them really hit the spot for me.
