      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.

      Let's create a comprehensive list of open-source software that everyone should know about!

                                  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.

                                      Helix is my favorite editor. It's like Vim, but less obtuse because you can see the text you're about to perform an action on before you take it.

                                          You should know that there is no longer an official syncthing app and a clone has taken its place. It's buggy but it works.

                                          Permissions are a bit tricky to set up but I believe the clone app does it correctly by asking for full file browsing permissions.

                                          Just to be clear, there is no official app for Android (and, I assume iPhone). If you are using SyncThing on desktop or laptop computers, there are downloads at the official syncthing.net site. On Linux, it should be available from your distribution.
