Is there some project that the opensource world is missing that you think it needs?

This is niche, but I really want a good FOSS screenwriting software that can rival Highland. There are some options like Trelby and others (because the Fountain syntax makes interchangeable screenplay files possible) but right now none of them are as good as Highland. A good alternative could let me finally leave Apple

Another good email client. Many are trying to leave Thunderbird on GNU Linux but there aren't many to choose from.

Why? Thunderbird announced it is not adopting the Firefox EULA.

A self-hosted photo/video viewer which presents itself as an Open Directory that maps closely to the underlying file system and also includes the ability to view images and stream videos. If videos are too large/incompatible with the user’s browser, they should be transcoded on the fly (optionally with the gpu). Genuinely surprised something like this doesn’t exist

lists niche-specific list of requirements Genuinely surprised this doesn't exist.

Most of what you want already exist in tons of simple php scripts that will take a directory and present each directory as a gallery. The live transcoding thing is something you can always add, because ya know, the majority of servers do not have GPUs.
