Discover Hidden Gems: Open-Source Software You Should Know About

We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let’s change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:

  1. Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
  2. No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
  3. Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

    CoMaps: https://www.comaps.app/

    It’s a fork of Organic Maps, after some drama. Only minor changes so far, but it’s what I’ve started using as my main maps/navigation app.

    Some info on the history including the timeline leading to the CoMaps fork is listed on the about page.

    But basically this is a maps app, where you can:

    • View maps based on Open Street Map. Maps are downloaded to your device, so you download your region then you can navigate offline.
    • Navigate by car, bike, walking, and in some areas (not mine 🙁), public transport.
    • Search for places, see opening hours, website, phone number, etc for places where the detail is on on OSM, and you can add the details yourself if they aren’t.
    • Save places for easy navigation
