From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There is an app called Rethink DNS for android. It is a DNS filter by Mozilla guys. It can also show the DNS queries generated through the system. One can block certain apps, exclude certain app from DNS filtering. It has wireguard support, that means can route certain apps through proxy. It has to be the bast app I ever downloaded. Please can you make something like this for Linux.
If anyone knows an existing alternative please comment. (On arch based distro.)
screen2gif. Peek is really good on the capturing side but it lacks all the editing tools like resizing, changing speed of each frame, removing specific or ranges of frames, inserting frames, drawing on frames, and of course exporting in different formats with very good compression options. I really miss being able to fine tune my gifs without having to open multiple tools or scripts.
Would it be possible to clone the snipping tool from windows?
Flameshot pretty much already does this, though perhaps not as elegantly
A graphical SSH client similar to Termius
A gui for a tunneling solution such as rathole or FRP.
Konsole has a SSH Manager. So its one click to Connect. Not sure if that is what you want.
A speech-to-text / dictation system geared towards writing documentation.
A basic, local text-to-speech app using home assistant's piper would be great. Feed it a document and have it read the document to you, highlighting along the way.
I wrote a version of this in Python a few years ago, but it depended on external tools like ffmpeg to work, limiting its portability. The Python requirement was also a major factor for adoption.
If it were ported to Rust, doing the (de)serialisation internally, I believe that it could have far-reaching implications on how we share and consume news:

If you're interested, I presented the Python version at PyCon UK a while back.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
An open-source Resilio Sync alternative (not syncthing) that centers around the folder represented by unique hash, without any device management
Something that gives you a reminder after a certain time of using a specific program (a game for example). I wanted to make it on my own but my coding skills are absolute garbage so it probably wouldn't work very well.
This might help https://codeberg.org/unfa/HyperTimer

it needs to be manually set, but a script to run this when you launch the app/game maybe?
Sticky notes, but they accept markdown and mermaid syntax
Option 2: a Windows XP Paint clone. Seriously, all the paint clones you can get on Linux, like gnome paint, just don't work properly
KolourPaint works very well for me.
Pick date format, time format, currency I'm currently using a weird combination of English, German, and Danish and it still doesn't fully do what I want (time is separated with a dot)
Search, detect conflicts or other issues and add new items.
I made something like this myself some time ago but it uses the outdated GTKSharp library and misses several features such as conflict detection. https://github.com/QazCetelic/Composition
This might be a bit complicated, but it would be really neat to have an app to manage packages that doesn't freeze, crash or fail.
I saw you're using Electron, you could port it to Tauri https://tauri.app/
It used to be tauri, but due to a bug in tauri that lasted more than a year, I had to switch to electron. I've been thinking of switching back, but I've got other priorities
A wayland screen recorder. Not everyone needs a complex app like obs. Also, a jellyfin/emby front end maybe?
Maybe a Linux-native Lemmy app? Or a client for Mastodon? Pixelfed, PeerTube?
Or a GUI for the Rust-based rescrobbled project?
I second this. The only lemmy client that exists worked quite badly for me
A budget app. I'm tired of all the good ones being web apps that spy on you. Multiple accounts, recurring expenses, ability to set goals, there's a lot of features you can implement (or not) depending on how far you take it.
Currently I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onetwoapps.mh which gets the job done but I want similar functionality outside of android.
Have you tried plaintextaccounting? I am using hledger, it works very well for me.
hledger actually seems like it'll fit my use case rather well. Thanks for mentioning it!
