For platforms, they are clear enough that they can remain the same. As for the badges, there are very few that I tried to keep fairly intuitive. The goal is to use color and pictures to very easily recognize the value of software at a glance, rather than having to read each word (words all look the same at a glance). A better solution may be to add labels alongside the stamps to provide the best of both worlds.

The fact that you simply ignored music players disqualifies your list.

As I said, the list is still brand new. It doesn’t have everything yet. The entire list should not be discounted because of this. If you have software you would like to see added, please post an issue on the repo with links and it likely will be added.

Also considering that Arch’s AUR, for example has over 90.000 packages, the idea of one person compiling a useful general “best of” list is deluded and doomed from the start.

If you don’t like my list, I encourage you to make your own. These are simply my opinions, which won’t always be for everyone. Arch/AUR is not a be-all-end-all either.

I simply state the fact that unless you enlist help (and a lot at that) your endeavor is useless.

It is fruitful to share my own list and experiences for those looking for it. Incompleteness is not useless.

As a GrapheneOS user, I approve this message.

AI camera VS. A .45 Magnum

Tune in next decade to find out who will win this epic battle.

Edit: Why does this guy look like Adam Sutler from V for Vendetta?

It’s better than using the same email for everything, which still runs the same risk. I try to minimize the services I use that require an email for this very reason. I will note, self hosting + addy.io provides much more control with the same benefits and drawbacks.

I’ll certainly add it, thanks!

I will look into that today, thank you! Stay tuned for the next release :)

Edit: Partially fixed as of Version 7.2024.09.16.0

Hi! I appreciate the suggestions! However, this list is not designed to be comprehensive. It is designed to present the best and nothing less. While those are great pieces of software, there are already better alternatives available on the list. The Linux Distros section will be overhauled soon though, so maybe Linux Mint will be added!

Creating mirrors on other platforms such as GitLab and Codeberg is on my to-do list. Thank you!

Proton purchased SimpleLogin in 2022 and the creator/dev has been working there ever since.

I knew this, I’m trying not to keep my eggs in one basket.

Also, you can easily create random email aliases in Vaultwarden/Bitwarden via the SimpleLogin API.

This still requires a SimpleLogin/Proton account, so there’s no added benefit. Plus, this is true for Addy as well.

Hey, I outlined some tools in my list here! TL;DR is Proton Mail + addy.io is as good as it gets, with Tuta and SimpleLogin as close contenders. Good luck!

KeePassXC has support for hardware security keys as a form of 2FA, so yes :)

Hi! If you have any suggestions for software, please provide links to them and I will be sure to check them out! Ideally, open an issue on the repo (this is the best way for it to be added). Thanks for the suggestions!

To my knowledge, Element has no way to share the desktop/screen. If I am wrong about this, please let me know!

Hi! Thanks for taking a look. I used a template to categorize some of the software early on, and this slipped into the initial release. Thanks for noticing! I’ll rename it accordingly.

I’m sorry you weren’t satisfied with some of the software on my list. Audire and Audile are not options I preferred to add, but there are simply no better music recognition apps out there that I could find. I would love to know if you have any! As for Audacity, I’m not sure what concerns you have over that. If you have any constructive feedback, I’d love to hear it!

The project is still in its early stages, so not everything is perfect :)

Thanks for bookmarking! I will absolutely be adding a photo library, it was something that slipped under my radar. Thank you!

Edit: Added in version 5.2024.09.15.1

Hi! I agree that it is getting cluttered with emojis. I plan to revamp this today to clear it up a bit. Thanks for your feedback!

Edit: Decluttered in version 5.2024.09.15.1

One of many reasons is the nonfree nature of Bitwarden. You have to pay for a premium account to use certain methods of 2FA, for example (last I checked).

I’ll be sure to check it out, thank you!
