A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

As in title, preferably open-source, but doesn't have to, I will start:

KOReader - Amazing reader app, and being able to use the same app across various devices, even non-android ones, is pure bliss. Japanese support is pretty good too, which makes me happy. Though.. Sadly no vertical text support :c

Syncthing-fork - Being able to keep a library of books, and some files, and easily keep the shared folder across various devices, is mega comfy. Tachiyomi - Cute manga reader.

NewPipe - Really pleasant youtube client, that i sometimes use to listen to things in the background.

Kaku - An useful Japanese OCR app, that works.. quite decently for when I encounter kanji that I do not recognize, and is not text.

EinkBro - A web browser, that on e-ink devices, is quite comfy. Has few... quirks, but works well on e-ink

Moshidon for a Mastodon client

Droid-ify as a much better fdroid client

Another Notes to plan world domination

InnerTune as a great YouTube music ripping app

Feeder for RSS feeds

Xtra as a Twitch client

Tutanota for email/contacts/calendar

Fennec (or Mull) for a demozilla'd stable Firefox with all tracking/analytics/proprietary stuff removed

Mostly stock AOSP apps from my custom GrapheneOS rom.

Every one of those apps are on fdroid, except the built in stock apps obviously
