Developers, developers, developers! What proprietary programs lack good free and open alternatives? We should identify and attack! We got this, FOSSoldiers! 😊

Aside from specific video games, the only proprietary software I can think of that I use is Labyrinthos, a tarot app. · 11 months ago

From what I've heard, FOSS accessibility for blind users is pretty terrible, especially on mobile devices. · 11 months ago

I guess answer is "cuz I don't use it". Most FOSS projects are stuff that developers use day to day. nvim, linux, *BSD, Gnome, KDE, a million different web frameworks, etc.. It's very hard to keep contributors engaged if they never find what they wrote useful or challenging.. I also wish more people could work on GIMP.

I wonder if there's a way to convince investors and managment to open source the project they invest.. · 11 months ago
