A browser addon that utterly floods advertisers and trackers with dummy data. A single person using it is easy to single out. A thousand start to eat into the profits. 100k should make them go offline (DDoS’ed) with an interesting frequency.
There is one that clicks every ad it sees. Adnauseam.
Software that burns down the server of any website that asks for data they don’t actually need.
I know it’s an unobtainable dream, but a banking app for every bank on any platform.
Banks could simply come together and develop an open banking standard for customers. Would probably save them a lot of money too, since the development of their stupid apps presumably costs them a lot.
Me getting ideas from this thread
please take them :)
NFC payments app.
Same. It sucks that most banks wouldn’t jump on this train :(

Does sync.com meet all your needs? Not sure about point 3 as not sure what you mean

Sounds like something like that should exist, there are many alternatives to nextcloud, plus nextcloud itself is working again on its e2e

Could Cryptomator and any cloud service be a solution for your needs?

Not directly what you are looking for, but did you check syncthing?

I just want GoG but for movies
There are some apps on fdroid that aggregate shows and movies from several websites
Sorry I should have clarified.
I want to legally buy my movie paying it to the creators, and be able do do whatever I want with my copy with me knowing I bought it just for buying it and being allowed to Own it without it being a DVD, because I don’t want DVDs, because I live in 16m² and I move way to often, while keeping the concept of buying it
just torrent everything. it’s so damn convenient and easy nowadays. if they dont wanna give you an easy way to buy and keep their movies, fuck em.
Android auto
There are some projects that already do this
A local personal assistant that isn’t just focused on media consumption or purchasing. I want to ask about my most efficient route or ideal presents for my partner or a medical condition without it being data mined.
Do services count? Because in that case, ride-hailing. A replacement for services like Uber and Lyft.
Signal to work for SMS again 🙄🙄🙄
A version of WhatsApp that doesn’t require full access to all your contacts to work properly. I have about 10 people I need to Whatapp with - I just want to add those people. Meta doesn’t need to know my Doctor’s phone number.
Not sure if its useful to you but grapheneos has contact scopes that lets you choose which contacts an application has access to.
You can’t do that because its proprietary software. Also meta makes money from data so it makes sense they would want to analyze your contacts
I never said it was attainable.
I’d love a self-hostable tool like trakt or simkl, to track my media consumption, as well as release dates.
Open source cars…
Not sure if this already exists in some form, but I want something that always records where I’ve been. I am a very forgetful person and the Google maps timeline feature has been very helpful more than a handful of times. Unfortunately, it means that Google knows exactly where I’ve been also…
I just want to be able to check where I was the afternoon of a random Tuesday three years ago!
