      Same. And Manga too!

      70 audiobooks, Manga volumes, and more already this year—All free through my library, and all so much easier to find, categorize, tag, and use than something like Audible.

      Every book marketplace I’ve used is focused on selling you what they want to sell you, not what you want to get. Libby just lets me keep track of books on my own terms in my own way. It’s a better experience and through my library. It’s great.

    Wallabag.

    I self-host my own instace, save articles I want to read from my laptop, and then they sync with the app on my phone. I read them offline when I have some time to kill

      That looks exactly like something I’ve been looking for. I’m going to spin up an instance tonight and take it for a test drive. Thanks!

        I don’t self-host a lot of things, but I’d say this is not the easiest I’ve done, just because it involves setting up multiple containers (unlike something like SearXNG). Also thought that I had to set-up an SMTP container, but I got away with not having to do it.

        I used ansible (and pass to store credentials), so this is how I did it (maybe someone can pitch in and tell me what I can improve):

        - name: Deploy Wallabag database
          community.docker.docker_container:
            name: db_wallabag
            image: mariadb
            recreate: true
            state: started
            memory: 500MB
            restart_policy: always
            log_options:
              max-size: "10m"
              max-file: "1"
            env:
              MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_mysql_root_password', missing='warn') }}"
            volumes:
            - ~/wallabag/data:/var/lib/mysql
            healthcheck:
              test: ["CMD", "mysqladmin", "ping", "-h", "localhost"]
              interval: 20s
              timeout: 3s
        
        - name: Deploy Wallabag redis
          community.docker.docker_container:
            name: redis_wallabag
            image: redis:alpine
            recreate: true
            state: started
            memory: 500MB
            restart_policy: always
            log_options:
              max-size: "10m"
              max-file: "1"
            links:
            - "db_wallabag:db_wallabag"
            healthcheck:
              test: ["CMD", "redis-cli", "ping"]
              interval: 20s
              timeout: 3s
        
        - name: Deploy Wallabag
          community.docker.docker_container:
            image: wallabag/wallabag:latest
            name: wallabag
            recreate: true
            state: started
            memory: 500MB
            restart_policy: always
            log_options:
              max-size: "10m"
              max-file: "1"
            links:
            - "redis_wallabag:redis_wallabag"
            - "db_wallabag:db_wallabag"
            ports:
            - "80"
            env:
              MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_mysql_root_password', missing='warn') }}"
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_DRIVER: pdo_mysql
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_HOST: db_wallabag
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_PORT: "3306"
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_NAME: db_wallabag
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_USER: db_wallabag
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_symfony_env_database_password', missing='warn') }}"
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_CHARSET: utf8mb4
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_TABLE_PREFIX: "wallabag_"
              SYMFONY__ENV__MAILER_DSN: smtp://127.0.0.1
              SYMFONY__ENV__FROM_EMAIL: wallabag@example.com
              SYMFONY__ENV__DOMAIN_NAME: 
              SYMFONY__ENV__SERVER_NAME: 
            volumes:
            - ~/wallabag/images:/var/www/wallabag/web/assets/images
            - ~/wallabag/data:/var/www/wallabag/data
            healthcheck:
              test: ["CMD", "wget", "--no-verbose", "--tries=1", "--spider", "http://localhost"]
              interval: 1m
              timeout: 3s
        
        
        

        Then I set up caddy for the reverse proxy

        - name: Upload Caddyfile
          ansible.builtin.copy:
            src: ./upload_files/Caddyfile
            dest: ~/Caddyfile
        
        - name: Deploy caddy
          community.docker.docker_container:
            image: caddy:2
            name: caddy
            user: "1000:1000"
            recreate: true
            state: started
            memory: 500MB
            restart_policy: always
            log_options:
              max-size: "10m"
              max-file: "1"
            links:
            - "wallabag:wallabag"
            ports:
            - "80:80"
            - "443:443"
            volumes:
            - ~/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
            - ~/caddy_data:/data
            - ~/caddy_config:/config
        

        And this is the Caddyfile

        my.url.com {
            reverse_proxy wallabag:80
        }
        

        Finally, you then have to login with user:wallabag and password:wallabag and change them in the webUI. I changed the “wallabag” user to my user and set a new password.

    TickTick would be hard to replace. Ive yet to find another cross-platform reminders app that’s so good

    Most of my other fav apps (Voyager for Lemmy, Bitwarden, NextCloud, NeoStore) could be replaced if I needed pretty easily (altho itd be a downgrade)

      May I recommend Tasks? Not only is it open source and doesn’t collect nearly as much information as TickTick apparently does (according to Play Market), but it’s packed full of features, and also interfaces with a bunch of other apps, like Google Calendar and Google Drive for backups.

      Edit: it also is still maintained and updated regularly

        I will check it out but, unless I’m just missing it, it doesn’t seem to have an iOS/iPad app. That unfortunately might be enough to be a dealbreaker

        I’ve tried to get into Tasks.org a few times, and I really like just about everything about it, but the deal breaker for me is that is seems like it doesn’t have any collaboration features - can anyone tell me otherwise?

        My partner and I have been making really good use of Todoist and its (admittedly limited) collaboration features - we have a ‘household’ project, and anything on that list is visible to both of us and can be assigned to a person.

        I’d really love to get on a proper FOSS solution, but so far many of them are missing collaboration. Vikunja is really cool and has collaboration, but doesn’t have any widgets atm (important for my scatter-brain). Still on the hunt!

          Hmm, it says it can synchorize with your Google account - that’s Google Calendar I think, isn’t Google Calendar collaborative? Or if you’re degoogled - are any of the alternatives collaborative, like EteSync or CalDAV?

            Yeah to some extent I suppose a calendar colab would get some of the way there, but I don’t think it gets as far as sharing to-do items between two different users. Maybe there’s a way to set it up to work that way, but I haven’t seen it yet. I’ll look into it!

              Hey, sorry, I realise this is like, a month ago… but I thought I would be able to help you out! Tasks are actually just IMAP items, just like emails, meetings and notes. The way to collaborate with an IMAPS Tasks list is to share that list with another user - your underlying provider should have guidance on how to do that. Usually the way it works behind the scenes is that a “guest” account is created for the person you want to share with, unless you’re both using the same platform, in which case mailbox access permissions can simply be added. But you don’t need to worry about the specifics, really - the important takeaway from this is that tasks.org is not responsible for sorting it out, it’s down to your caldav provider - usually, your email provider!

    Sync for Lemmy, Voyager and Summit, if I need to narrow it down to three Lemmy clients.

    Google Photos with Pixelifly 🏴‍☠️

    Telegram to discuss about custom ROMs and talk with my gf.

    Spark Mail because I love Inbox Zero, also has some nice team features.

    Spotify for music, ViMusic as a close second.

    Google Chrome (looking to replace it with Ice Raven, Firefox when it gets full extension support).

    Feedly and Feeder, the one to discover and manager plus multi platform, the second because I think it is a superior RSS app, used along with Discovery Killer to replace cringe Google Discover.

    Bitwarden (Vaultwarden) for password management.

    Showly synced with Trak.tv to manage my TV shows/Anime and Movies.

    Todoist (looking to replace it with Tasks.org, but I really need this to be multiplatform, just as with Feedly), also testing with Ruppu for simpler stuff.

    Droidify to handle all these awesome Open Source mess ;)

    Smart Dock

    Classic PowerMenu

    Ice Box and App Manager/SD Maid

    Franco Kernel Manager and Magisk.

    Runners up:

    Download Progress ++ and Media Bar

    I think this would be the summarized list.

      Just as an FYI - tasks.org and iOS Reminders are compatible if you use a CalDAV provider as the underlying source. EteSync also works, but not very well, so I’d suggest CalDAV.

        Pixelifly for Google Photos allows you to spoof the Google Photos app to the Pixel XL, meaning we get full quality unlimited storage for the photos and videos (requires root).

        Smart Dock is a dock which places in the bottom of your screen for quick access to apps and system actions, it can be used to replace the Android app switcher and Android Buttons, but I only use it for multitasking and accessing my favorite apps quickly.

        Classic PowerMenu allows you to have your Gpay stuff when you hold the power button, I don’t use it because my country does not support it lol, I mainly liked it because I like the quick access to the smart devices, also requires root.

        Download Progress and Media Bar add a tiny bar near the statusbar, one for downloads from every app (no need to pull down QS 😂) media bar for all music and video apps, also lets you to rewind, forward and pause from there, as many other features.

    Alarmed (iOS only, unfortunately). It allows you to set nagging reminders with notifications and has great features for snoozing a reminder or setting up routine reminders.

    It’s great for ADHD. I basically use it for my schedule I’ll have it remind me the morning of something (or the day before depending on the event), when the reminder comes up, I’ll snooze it to to just before I have to leave.

    I had been using apples “reminders”, which just seem to disappear into the ether if you happen to miss the notification.

    Google Calendar - I live my life by this calendar. If it’s not on the calendar, I’m not doing it

    Libby - Books and Audiobooks for free from your local library

    “FitNotes” the workout app, because i’ve been using it for 7(?) years now to track my workout progress over the years and love the data/analytics. pretty user friendly, not super powerful, but great for tracking exercises.

    and since google no longer supports music player apps outside of youtube, i guess Spotify, cuz that’s the only way to listen to music nowadays. shout out to a friend who added me to his premium years ago
