I’m slowly ditching Google lately. Always on the lookout for better options, so lemme know what you’re using! 👌

    The graphic format doesn’t do much for those looking to learn, if I don’t already know the non-google icon or app this doesn’t help. I understand the point of the post is to drive discussion but if the whole broader goal is to help people switch listing it out in text or labeling the icons at least would make it as useful as the other breakdowns we often see here that have lists by app/category are more useful.

        My bad.

        Gmail -> Proton Mail
        Chrome -> Fennec (Firefox fork)
        Google Photos -> Immich (Self Hosted)
        Google Calendar -> TickTick
        Google Drive -> Filen
        YouTube -> YouTube Revanced
        WhatsApp -> Nekogram (Telegram fork)

          I suggest Ente Photos instead of Immich, if self-hosting is not something for you. It’s also more feature complete, as Immich is still actively being built and bugs are expected.

            I’ve heard that Ente has fewer features (haven’t personally tried it though) and self hosting isn’t that bad… Immich can have bugs sometimes but never has broken anything majorly (once timelines broke, was fixed in the next version, nothing ever was deleted because of a bug) since I’ve been using it.

              Yeah self-hosting is not hard if you are technical, but the average person won’t even entertain the idea.

              I haven’t tried Immich, I’m currently happy with Ente, and I’m planning to move to Immich (and see how it compares) once it’s declared stable by the developers.

                Yep, fully agree. Honestly the only reason Immich isn’t perfect for me, is because my duckdns goes down all the time, and I run it on an old MacBook in a different country (at a friend’s)… it’s not exactly the most reliable way to host it

          The problem with many of these apps is that when you go looking for them on fdroid they are not there. Example in the above list is YouTube Revanced.

        I find that lists like this are often on GitHub, so it’s worth adding that site to your search

        Here’s an example by Tycrek

        Edit: found another by Pluja

        You’ll see overlap on the lists for good reason
