FOSS Software I use, proprietary apps alternatives - eviltoast

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.

    All my close friends, so 9 people. It’s a good test for friendships too. If they can’t bother to create an account on Matrix for you, do you think they will do something more in the future when you need them?
