Habe letzte Woche die Notizbuch App " OpenNotes" auf F-Droid entdeckt. Für mich ( fast optimal ) . Es fehlt mir nur Fett, Kursiv etc. für Nachrichten und ein funktionierender Import Export. Hat bei mir nicht funktiniert. JSON Datei. Vieleicht blockiert auch Android oder Xiaomi den Download, das Installieren.

@Tutanota Al fin una infografía de alternativas a Google con verdaderas alternativas a Chrome.

Eso sí, la categoría de sustitutas de Google Chat podría mejorar, comenzando por quitar Signal. Delta Chat o Monocles Chat/XMPP quedan mucho mejor.

@Tutanota, I appreciate the list as much as I do the comments. Both parts were informative.

Thank you for bringing up less known (imho) alternatives, such as Immich. I truly enjoyed their "Cursed Knowledge" section

@Tutanota
Yeah, could be, but to be honest, it costs a lot more than f.e. the all in one (mail, storage, photos) price 2,99/month that Apple charges.

I would be fine if that would be 5 or 6 euro, but it's really a lot more.

Just to add that if you use KeepassXC it has a built in authenticator. ctrl-t, ctrl-v fill in the otp validation.

@Tutanota Suggestions :

Translations:
- Firefox supports downloading models and running locally (either to translate page or direct access in "about:translations")

Android: also list non Android derivatives:
- #SailfishOS <- I daily drive that
- postmarketOS
- UbuntuTouch
They all have (container-based) solutions to run Android apps if necessary (AppSupport, Waydroid)

Also, add fediverse:
- Pixelfed
- Peertube

@Tutanota never let people tell you they are user friendly though! It really annoys me when “Google alternatives” get promoted that are overcomplicated, ugly, and unusable for normal people.🤷

I honestly think many open-source developers don’t prioritise usability because they assume their products will always be fringe and non-commercial, so UX and onboarding are neglected. It becomes a badge-of-honour exercise to even get them working. 🛠️ 1)

@Tutanota I just tried Aurora Store. The homepage is full of Temu ads (ironically), there’s no clear download path, no proper instructions, and no obvious way to browse apps 📖.

If you want people to adopt alternatives, above all else they must be instantly easy to access, install, and use. Otherwise it’s Dungeons & Dragons level niche interest.🔚

@Tutanota I liked u added fennec and session in ur list. Still need some more like keepassdx for android, offline translator, another notes/NotallyX. Also add options for files & keyboard because ppls still using Google files & gboard. Alternatives are fossify files or right files and SwiftKey (not foss but 💯 %manageable without internet) or unexpected keyboard. With ente photo u can add aveslibre photo app

Ente etc is just storage.
The ones I found are deep in an ai swamp, thats not what I'm looking for.
Any android suggestions for that?

@Tutanota a few suggestions:

Email: Proton (yes yes I know, but you mention them in calendars anyway.)

Translate: DeepL (?)

Browsers: I know they're Chromium, but options like Vivaldi and (reluctantly) Brave aren't half bad.

App Store: Obtainium

Android: Drop Calyx, its not actively being developed right now and is more of a security hazard than anything.

Maps: HEREWeGo (HERE Maps) is honestly pretty alright.

SmartWatch (WearOS): GadgetBridge, Garmin(?)

Google Home: Homeassistant
