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?

    Ultimate Guitar Tabs. After spending years getting a community to contribute to one of the best music resources on the web, they turn around and lock all but the most basic features behind a pay wall.

      Holy shit the most painful and miserable experience is using this god forsaken site, let alone the fucking mobile app. Actually rage inducing.

      they turn around and lock all but the most basic features behind a pay wall.

      To be fair, that was forced by the music industry.

      If they didn’t licence the tabs and come up with a payment system they were going to be sued into oblivion.

        Is that really the case? Because you can still see all the songs and a basic set of chords without an account/payment.
