What apps have you been using this year? Have you found new apps to fill a gap in your previous open-source use?
What is something that you wish had a good open-source alternative but does not at this time?

Syncthing/Syncthing-Fork. Simply the best cross-system file synchronization app. Peer-to-peer, no cloud storage.

Scrcpy (Screen Copy). App that mirrors your Android phone to Windows. When I switched away from a Samsung phone I lost the ability to run an app from my phone on my PC desktop. This restores that.

I tried to set this up last week and found it was buggy and unreliable as hell on android.
Maybe I did something wrong, but same server side and 2 different android phones, I open the app after some time has passed and the light thing is green but server shows disconnected. The slide out menu has “restart” greyed out. I force close and reopen the app, then it starts working again.
Does not seem reliable.
I’m also using Syncthing to sync up my notes between my laptop and phone. It’s been great! Less Google doc use.
