Hello everyone! This is my list of FOSS software I use 😃

Android FOSS alternatives to proprietary apps

Google Board -> FlorisBoard
Google Play -> Aurora Store[1]
Termius -> ConnectBot[2]
Discord -> Element
Xiaomi Fit -> Gadget Bridge[3]
Google Gmail -> K-9 Mail
YouTube -> LibreTube
Google Authenticator -> Mauth
Google News -> Nextcloud News[4]
Google Drive -> Nextcloud[4]
Google Keep -> Nextcloud Notes[4]
Spotify -> SubTune[4]
YouTube Music -> ViMusic
Google Chrome -> Mull

1- You need a Google account.
2 - The UX is not as good as Termius.
3 - The UI looks like garbage, but does it’s job.
4 - You need to selfhost a server.

    Is Floris Board still maintained? Latest stable release was in June 2022 and latest beta in September 2022.

    Their GitHub says that stable versions are released “1 release per 1-5 months” and beta “up to 1-2 releases per week”.

      From README:

      The current focus is on implementing next-word suggestions, which has become complicated/hit a snag and is taking more time than originally planned. Updates will come when this issue is resolved. Thank you for being patient.

        I do as well. I like AnySoft because it has the swipey typey shit going on like swype does, but without the spying. The feature is in beta and a bit buggy though.
