Hey Team, looking at the landscape in 2026, we have open alternatives for almost everything. We can run our entire business and life on open-source stacks… almost.

Are there any major or everyday proprietary apps or integrations you are still stuck using because the open versions just aren’t there yet? Across your cross platforms like your desktop like windows or MacBook or iOS or Android? What’s the one “closed” app you think would change ‘your’ world if we finally got an open-source equivalent? Or maybe there’s an open source equivalent that exists but isn’t close enough to be great use for you due to the lack of rich UX that its big tech alternatives provides?
