Show HN: A directory of open source alternatives to proprietary software
Creepy tracking, less functionality than the old alternativeto.net (also less content, but of course content takes time so that’s understandable), plus desperate-looking “enroll to our newsletter” and “advertise” pleads. Looks like a cheap attempt at making a couple bucks to me.
alternativeto.net has some amazing content.
This list of fdroid apps is the best overview that I’ve found so far:

Great list, thanks!
Are you the author? Because I might have some additions to suggest. (one is Equate which combines a calculator with unit/currency conversion - I have not gone through the whole list)
I’m not the author of the the list, I just recommend it when appropriate.
(c: I use and prefer Equate as my converter app too.
Wait tracking? Does it really have that?
I meant web tracking: my ublock origin stopped cloudflareinsights.com, posthog.com and googletagmanager.com (which is most probably used to add more stuff - IDK for sure since I didn’t try unblocking to see what it would do).
Hmm almost every website has some sort of tracking. Does it have ads though? I didn’t see any
Yeah… and most send info to the same mega companies, which is why it’s creepy :)
BTW: I’m 100% ok with a website collecting stats on which of their pages are more popular and even with profiling my session to see which pages correlate to which - I’m not ok with websites remembering me across sessions and definitely not ok with Google (and others) tracking my whole web history and using/selling it to show me shitty ads.
