              Subsurface

              I recently found out after creating Linux, Linus Torvalds wanted to make a good open source scuba dive log software. Today, it's probably one of the best, if not the best dive log programs out there and I recently used this myself on a recent dive and it's great.

                                  I didn't realize it was out already. Last I heard they just slapped the name on K9-Mail.

                                  My comparison is vs the desktop version of Thunderbird.

                                    I wish I could send a whole folder of files at once with this, mine seems to only work one file at a time.

                                      We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let's change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:

                                      1. Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
                                      2. No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
                                      3. Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.
