    Thunderbird - a brilliant e-mail program, which also handles contacts, newsfeeds, calender and more.
    It's available for multiple platforms, like Android, Windows, Linux and so forth...

    I switched to outlook at work. I had a lot of wierd issues with thunderbird. Like how i would sort them newest fisrt, and grouo by conversation. But then when i got a coversation and expanded it. I had to scroll all the way to the bottom to se the latest. Of the last update I got that deleted everything.

    I might go back to it. But it's not perfect

      Does it work with a self-hosted komga server?

        If it is only about fishing, why not use the KeePass browser plugin? That can also autofill by domain.

        Good question - does the browser plug in sync to the internet or is any part of it internet accessible? I've not used it. I just know a lot of people are put off by the idea of their passwords being "in the cloud" or otherwise accessible through the internet.
        Looking at the add-on for Firefox, it looks like it communicates with the local keepassxc instance, which should be fine for many people.

        Thanks. I was not aware of this option.

              Lichess is a lot more liberal with what it considers a mistake. I guess chess.com needs to butter you up.

                    I have it launch automatically on ssh sessions. If the connection drops, nothing happens, the next time I connect, it automatically reattaches 😎

                      Breakout71

                      I could not believe I didn't find this fun free gem sooner. I'll let the description from F-Droid explain the details:

                      This is a roguelike twist on the original Breakout formula:
                      The goal is to catch as many coins as possible during 7 levels.
                      Coins appear when you break bricks.
                      They fly around, bounce and roll, and you need to catch them with your paddle.
                      At the end of the level, you get to pick upgrades.
                      There are 50+ different upgrades that impact the gameplay in various ways.
                      Many upgrades will impact your combo, that's the number of coins spawned for each brick broken.
                      Your "combo" is displayed on your paddle. Your score is displayed in the top right corner of the screen.
                      Oh, and don't miss the ball, you don't have extra lives.

                          to publish ios apps you need to run xcode, last time I checked (admittedly it's been 7ish years) - and you need to build on mac hardware. none of which is cheap, especially for devs who don't see any additional revenue from their ios apps.

                          They also force you to pay a 99USD yearly fee just for the privilege of being a developer.

                            First of all, you don't have to go back.
                            Second of all, being perfect is a pretty high bar for any software - can you mention any on this list, or even commercial ones, that have no flaws or bugs, or could not be better?
                            Third. I've used it since it was part of Navigator, and I have never lost any data. Without being tech-support for Thunderbird, I might think that you have somehow installed either a different version of Thunderbird, which makes a new user-folder. Your data might still have been there.

                            Sorting is done the same way in Outlook and Thunderbird, by clicking on the subject you want to sort it by. How you couldn't do that, is beyond me...

                            But, as I said at first - you don't have to go back. I guess you felt like making this post about complaining - something I don't think that any software in this list (or beyond this list) could be above...

                                OsmAnd, mobile app for navigation and maps. Offline, based on OSM, can do anything. I use it for checking out and bookmarking places, finding POIs and pubic transport stations, routing (especially for bike and foot), measuring distances, and so on. It can also show and record tracks, do car navigation, edit OSM points, and more stuff that I don't use.

                                I want to like this, but because there's no GTFS/public transport timetables, it makes it kinda impossible to use it to get around cities that publish their transport data.

                                PT is the one thing I'm still stuck on Google maps for. I REALLY want an open source alternative.

                                  I found Signal and Matrix to be easier to use, albeit less private as it leaks some metadata.

                                  To be fair, unlike Signal and Matrix, Tox does not rely on external server, it is full P2P. In that regard, setting up a Tox network is infinitely simpler.
                                  Also, the only thing you leak is your IP address that end up in tox DHT, which is a necessity for peers to be able to reach you. It could easily be hidden behind Tor or a VPN.

                                    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.

                                    Check out last year's post for more inspiration: Last Year's Post

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

                                    Librera (android pdf+ reader).

                                    I spend a lot of time reading pdfs on my phone, this has done an excellent job. Well featured, responsive, and seems respectful of the battery.

                                    Ads or payment if you buy from the playstore, but free on F-droid and source code is here.

                                      Syncthing has been a wonder to discover. Basically replaced any desire for me to rely on the cloud.

                                        For some reason, I just can't get my Kubuntu desktop and Android phone to talk to each other with this. It does weirdly connect just fine on Arch/EndeavourOS, though.

                                          I want to like this, but because there's no GTFS/public transport timetables, it makes it kinda impossible to use it to get around cities that publish their transport data.

                                          PT is the one thing I'm still stuck on Google maps for. I REALLY want an open source alternative.

                                          Magic Earth is spotty on public transit, but it does have it, at least. And it is based on OSM. I usually just use my local transit app for accurate timetables, anyway.
