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?

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

True, I caved for Proton Drive for lack of a better option right now. Even then it is not feature complete. However I'm happy enough with Google not mining my data anymore

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

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.

Final Cut Pro. I know it’s asking a lot and I know a lot of talented people have tried and are trying to build NLEs and all my gratitude to them. But—no offense intended—none are there yet and actually accomplishing this would be #1 on my magical (no effort provided by me) wishlist.

Blender has spoiled us with unrealistic expectations.

Apple Remote Desktop. Batch control of computers through SSH and VNC would be amazing.

SOLIDWORKS. FreeCAD is hostile.
