I can’t live without music, so SomaFM it is.
Plexamp and NewPipe for sure. Especially now that Plexamp doesn’t require a Plex Pass.
Thanks for the plexamp reco! I didn’t realize there was a music app by Plex.

TickTick would be hard to replace. Ive yet to find another cross-platform reminders app that’s so good
Most of my other fav apps (Voyager for Lemmy, Bitwarden, NextCloud, NeoStore) could be replaced if I needed pretty easily (altho itd be a downgrade)
I didn’t read close enough and thought you said TikTok. I thought to myself, “TikTok has reminders?!?”
May I recommend Tasks? Not only is it open source and doesn’t collect nearly as much information as TickTick apparently does (according to Play Market), but it’s packed full of features, and also interfaces with a bunch of other apps, like Google Calendar and Google Drive for backups.
Edit: it also is still maintained and updated regularly
I’ve tried to get into Tasks.org a few times, and I really like just about everything about it, but the deal breaker for me is that is seems like it doesn’t have any collaboration features - can anyone tell me otherwise?
My partner and I have been making really good use of Todoist and its (admittedly limited) collaboration features - we have a ‘household’ project, and anything on that list is visible to both of us and can be assigned to a person.
I’d really love to get on a proper FOSS solution, but so far many of them are missing collaboration. Vikunja is really cool and has collaboration, but doesn’t have any widgets atm (important for my scatter-brain). Still on the hunt!
Hmm, it says it can synchorize with your Google account - that’s Google Calendar I think, isn’t Google Calendar collaborative? Or if you’re degoogled - are any of the alternatives collaborative, like EteSync or CalDAV?
Yeah to some extent I suppose a calendar colab would get some of the way there, but I don’t think it gets as far as sharing to-do items between two different users. Maybe there’s a way to set it up to work that way, but I haven’t seen it yet. I’ll look into it!
I will check it out but, unless I’m just missing it, it doesn’t seem to have an iOS/iPad app. That unfortunately might be enough to be a dealbreaker
It’s Android only.
“FitNotes” the workout app, because i’ve been using it for 7(?) years now to track my workout progress over the years and love the data/analytics. pretty user friendly, not super powerful, but great for tracking exercises.
and since google no longer supports music player apps outside of youtube, i guess Spotify, cuz that’s the only way to listen to music nowadays. shout out to a friend who added me to his premium years ago

I self-host my own instace, save articles I want to read from my laptop, and then they sync with the app on my phone. I read them offline when I have some time to kill

I don’t self-host a lot of things, but I’d say this is not the easiest I’ve done, just because it involves setting up multiple containers (unlike something like SearXNG). Also thought that I had to set-up an SMTP container, but I got away with not having to do it.
I used ansible (and
pass
to store credentials), so this is how I did it (maybe someone can pitch in and tell me what I can improve):- name: Deploy Wallabag database community.docker.docker_container: name: db_wallabag image: mariadb recreate: true state: started memory: 500MB restart_policy: always log_options: max-size: "10m" max-file: "1" env: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_mysql_root_password', missing='warn') }}" volumes: - ~/wallabag/data:/var/lib/mysql healthcheck: test: ["CMD", "mysqladmin", "ping", "-h", "localhost"] interval: 20s timeout: 3s - name: Deploy Wallabag redis community.docker.docker_container: name: redis_wallabag image: redis:alpine recreate: true state: started memory: 500MB restart_policy: always log_options: max-size: "10m" max-file: "1" links: - "db_wallabag:db_wallabag" healthcheck: test: ["CMD", "redis-cli", "ping"] interval: 20s timeout: 3s - name: Deploy Wallabag community.docker.docker_container: image: wallabag/wallabag:latest name: wallabag recreate: true state: started memory: 500MB restart_policy: always log_options: max-size: "10m" max-file: "1" links: - "redis_wallabag:redis_wallabag" - "db_wallabag:db_wallabag" ports: - "80" env: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_mysql_root_password', missing='warn') }}" SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_DRIVER: pdo_mysql SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_HOST: db_wallabag SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_PORT: "3306" SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_NAME: db_wallabag SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_USER: db_wallabag SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_symfony_env_database_password', missing='warn') }}" SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_CHARSET: utf8mb4 SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_TABLE_PREFIX: "wallabag_" SYMFONY__ENV__MAILER_DSN: smtp://127.0.0.1 SYMFONY__ENV__FROM_EMAIL: wallabag@example.com SYMFONY__ENV__DOMAIN_NAME: SYMFONY__ENV__SERVER_NAME: volumes: - ~/wallabag/images:/var/www/wallabag/web/assets/images - ~/wallabag/data:/var/www/wallabag/data healthcheck: test: ["CMD", "wget", "--no-verbose", "--tries=1", "--spider", "http://localhost"] interval: 1m timeout: 3s
Then I set up caddy for the reverse proxy
- name: Upload Caddyfile ansible.builtin.copy: src: ./upload_files/Caddyfile dest: ~/Caddyfile - name: Deploy caddy community.docker.docker_container: image: caddy:2 name: caddy user: "1000:1000" recreate: true state: started memory: 500MB restart_policy: always log_options: max-size: "10m" max-file: "1" links: - "wallabag:wallabag" ports: - "80:80" - "443:443" volumes: - ~/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile - ~/caddy_data:/data - ~/caddy_config:/config
And this is the
Caddyfile
my.url.com { reverse_proxy wallabag:80 }
Finally, you then have to login with user:wallabag and password:wallabag and change them in the webUI. I changed the “wallabag” user to my user and set a new password.
That looks exactly like something I’ve been looking for. I’m going to spin up an instance tonight and take it for a test drive. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Libby, freaking love audiobooks.
Same. And Manga too!
70 audiobooks, Manga volumes, and more already this year—All free through my library, and all so much easier to find, categorize, tag, and use than something like Audible.
Every book marketplace I’ve used is focused on selling you what they want to sell you, not what you want to get. Libby just lets me keep track of books on my own terms in my own way. It’s a better experience and through my library. It’s great.
Adding voice and audiobookshelf, for non-DRM books.
Also podcasts, with progress sync across devices.
Easily the most used app on my phone
Xmanager, newpipe, Firefox with ublock origin and dark reader extensions.
Alarmed (iOS only, unfortunately). It allows you to set nagging reminders with notifications and has great features for snoozing a reminder or setting up routine reminders.
It’s great for ADHD. I basically use it for my schedule I’ll have it remind me the morning of something (or the day before depending on the event), when the reminder comes up, I’ll snooze it to to just before I have to leave.
I had been using apples “reminders”, which just seem to disappear into the ether if you happen to miss the notification.
LibreTube for Android. YouTube just has too many ads.
Sync for Lemmy, Voyager and Summit, if I need to narrow it down to three Lemmy clients.
Google Photos with Pixelifly 🏴☠️
Telegram to discuss about custom ROMs and talk with my gf.
Spark Mail because I love Inbox Zero, also has some nice team features.
Spotify for music, ViMusic as a close second.
Google Chrome (looking to replace it with Ice Raven, Firefox when it gets full extension support).
Feedly and Feeder, the one to discover and manager plus multi platform, the second because I think it is a superior RSS app, used along with Discovery Killer to replace cringe Google Discover.
Bitwarden (Vaultwarden) for password management.
Showly synced with Trak.tv to manage my TV shows/Anime and Movies.
Todoist (looking to replace it with Tasks.org, but I really need this to be multiplatform, just as with Feedly), also testing with Ruppu for simpler stuff.
Droidify to handle all these awesome Open Source mess ;)
Smart Dock
Classic PowerMenu
Ice Box and App Manager/SD Maid
Franco Kernel Manager and Magisk.
Runners up:
Download Progress ++ and Media Bar
I think this would be the summarized list.
What’s pixelify, smart dock, classic power menu, and download progress ++/media bar?
Pixelifly for Google Photos allows you to spoof the Google Photos app to the Pixel XL, meaning we get full quality unlimited storage for the photos and videos (requires root).
Smart Dock is a dock which places in the bottom of your screen for quick access to apps and system actions, it can be used to replace the Android app switcher and Android Buttons, but I only use it for multitasking and accessing my favorite apps quickly.
Classic PowerMenu allows you to have your Gpay stuff when you hold the power button, I don’t use it because my country does not support it lol, I mainly liked it because I like the quick access to the smart devices, also requires root.
Download Progress and Media Bar add a tiny bar near the statusbar, one for downloads from every app (no need to pull down QS 😂) media bar for all music and video apps, also lets you to rewind, forward and pause from there, as many other features.
