For YouTube frontends: On the Linux desktop, there is FreeTube, on IOS there is yattee (IIRC), then there are web based front ends from invideous.

Louis Rossman mentioned the other day that they are in the process of creating an app that will allow you to follow your chosen creators across multiple services, so that you can continue even if their primary platform removes them.

If you're looking for YouTube alternatives, check out Peertube, Odyssey, and Nebula (I haven't looked at Peertube or Odyssey in a while, so I can't comment on how they are doing).

Some basic information, including building numbers, can also be edited from within Organic Maps.

Address based search works, but the data is largely lacking.

You can help by adding building numbers from within Organ Maps (tap a building and, then "edit place").

The underlying OSM dataset supports building number interpolation, so even a few accurate entries could be very helpful.

Open maps will improve greatly in the near future. The Overture Maps Foundation is working on an open mapping dataset to rival Google.

PewPew live and PewPew 2

Lichess - rather than chess.com

Rustdesk - remote desktop software

Syncthing - rather than Dropbox

KDE Connect - phone/computer integration (notifications, media control, mouse and keyboard, file sharing, presentation remote, clipboard sharing, etc)

Aves gallery,

Organic maps

PlayBook - audiobook player

Bitwarden - password manager,

Droid-ify - F-droid client

Element - matrix client (potentiall alternative to discord)

GrapheneOS is also great.

Unless open camera has improved dramatically, the GrapheneOS camera app is far better.

I can almost guarantee that your payment of 15x the normal amount would still be too little versus how many versions will be compiled and distributed for free with premium features enabled.

That depends on how many people feel the same as me, and I know how we could find out.

While it seems to have fallen out of favor, crowdfunding is excellent at helping to resolving that kind of uncertainty.

@ljdawson, please consider how much it would be worth to you, and start a campaign. Go open-source If the target is reached.

To be clear, I don't expect it. I'll be happy either way to see tools developed that encourage the use of Lemmy over reddit.

Being open-source would be an additional value proposition that I, and maybe many others, would happily pay for. I use Jerboa, and will probably continue to use it.

Maybe this is not apples-to-apples, but my favorite audio-book player has separate free and paid versions only differentiated by the presence of dark mode. It's such a trivial thing to paywall that it comes across to me as a respectful petition for generosity. I bought the paid version and then gave multiple tips through the in-app purchase.

Yes. Doctorow also talked a lot about platform economics in this recent book-tour interview.
