in reply to Tuta • • •a few suggestions:
Email: Proton (yes yes I know, but you mention them in calendars anyway.)
Translate: DeepL (?)
Browsers: I know they're Chromium, but options like Vivaldi and (reluctantly) Brave aren't half bad.
App Store: Obtainium
Android: Drop Calyx, its not actively being developed right now and is more of a security hazard than anything.
Maps: HEREWeGo (HERE Maps) is honestly pretty alright.
SmartWatch (WearOS): GadgetBridge, Garmin(?)
Google Home: Homeassistant

in reply to Tuta • • •never let people tell you they are user friendly though! It really annoys me when “Google alternatives” get promoted that are overcomplicated, ugly, and unusable for normal people.🤷
I honestly think many open-source developers don’t prioritise usability because they assume their products will always be fringe and non-commercial, so UX and onboarding are neglected. It becomes a badge-of-honour exercise to even get them working. 🛠️ 1)

in reply to Ken M Sweeney • • •I just tried Aurora Store. The homepage is full of Temu ads (ironically), there’s no clear download path, no proper instructions, and no obvious way to browse apps 📖.
If you want people to adopt alternatives, above all else they must be instantly easy to access, install, and use. Otherwise it’s Dungeons & Dragons level niche interest.🔚

in reply to Tuta • • •openstreetmaps is soooo much better. I use mapy.cz as a frontend and it is soo much better for biking and tracking.
I didn't even know half of those browsers. Are the foxes all forked from Firefox?
DrYak
in reply to Tuta • • •Suggestions :
Translations:
- Firefox supports downloading models and running locally (either to translate page or direct access in "about:translations")
Android: also list non Android derivatives:
- #SailfishOS <- I daily drive that
- postmarketOS
- UbuntuTouch
They all have (container-based) solutions to run Android apps if necessary (AppSupport, Waydroid)
Also, add fediverse:
- Pixelfed
- Peertube

in reply to Tuta • • •Yeah, could be, but to be honest, it costs a lot more than f.e. the all in one (mail, storage, photos) price 2,99/month that Apple charges.
I would be fine if that would be 5 or 6 euro, but it's really a lot more.

in reply to Tuta • • •hey tuta, can you give us a short roadmap to your cloud?
I already switched to tuta mail & calendar, now i want your cloud
Morgan Nilsson
in reply to Eric • • •Yeah would be dope, I am currently looking for an alternative to Gdrive/Photos too. Would be neat to minimize the amount of logins and different subscriptions to keep track of.

in reply to Tuta • • •@Tutanota, I appreciate the list as much as I do the comments. Both parts were informative.
Thank you for bringing up less known (imho) alternatives, such as Immich. I truly enjoyed their "Cursed Knowledge" section

in reply to Tuta • • •Al fin una infografía de alternativas a Google con verdaderas alternativas a Chrome.
Eso sí, la categoría de sustitutas de Google Chat podría mejorar, comenzando por quitar Signal. Delta Chat o Monocles Chat/XMPP quedan mucho mejor.
