@fdroidorg I’m not missing any FLOSS apps. I have to use a bunch of proprietary/commercial apps for businesses that I work with. I love the idea of #FDroid and I wish more apps were there. And I wish there was an equivalent for iOS. My comment was that (being inexperienced) I had expected to get more use out of FDroid. I didn’t realise how many apps I use that wouldn’t be in the FDroid store.

In the end, one of the dealbreakers for me was having to stitch together my personal cloud by having multiple apps from multiple teams that don’t create an integrated experience. Mail, calendar, contacts, notes, reminders. I need 4 apps to get these 5 things: email, davx, imapnotes, and something for reminders. I selfhost everything and this was clunky.

I’ve come to the conclusion that we are all boiled frogs. I’ve been in the iPhone ecosystem so long I didn’t realise how boiled I was. Android users are similar. Things that look like deal breaking limitations to me are just little idiosyncrasies that Android users shrug off. And things that drive android users crazy and away from iOS are obviously things I just shrug and put up with.

I thought I would be more flexible than I was.
