Software that burns down the server of any website that asks for data they don’t actually need.
I know it’s an unobtainable dream, but a banking app for every bank on any platform.
I just want GoG but for movies
There are some apps on fdroid that aggregate shows and movies from several websites
Sorry I should have clarified.
I want to legally buy my movie paying it to the creators, and be able do do whatever I want with my copy with me knowing I bought it just for buying it and being allowed to Own it without it being a DVD, because I don’t want DVDs, because I live in 16m² and I move way to often, while keeping the concept of buying it
A browser addon that utterly floods advertisers and trackers with dummy data. A single person using it is easy to single out. A thousand start to eat into the profits. 100k should make them go offline (DDoS’ed) with an interesting frequency.
There is one that clicks every ad it sees. Adnauseam.
NFC payments app.
Same. It sucks that most banks wouldn’t jump on this train :(
health smartwatch app, with sleep n all features in some opensource format that could use any other app data… utopia, i know
GadgetBridge (Android). You need one of the (many) supported smartwatches. Data is easily exported and processable with, eg, R.
Do services count? Because in that case, ride-hailing. A replacement for services like Uber and Lyft.
A local personal assistant that isn’t just focused on media consumption or purchasing. I want to ask about my most efficient route or ideal presents for my partner or a medical condition without it being data mined.
I’d love a self-hostable tool like trakt or simkl, to track my media consumption, as well as release dates.
Open source cars…

Sounds like something like that should exist, there are many alternatives to nextcloud, plus nextcloud itself is working again on its e2e

Me getting ideas from this thread
Signal to work for SMS again 🙄🙄🙄
Not sure if this already exists in some form, but I want something that always records where I’ve been. I am a very forgetful person and the Google maps timeline feature has been very helpful more than a handful of times. Unfortunately, it means that Google knows exactly where I’ve been also…
I just want to be able to check where I was the afternoon of a random Tuesday three years ago!
Something that produces a wealth of plausible web traffic on my connection and browser that woefully misleads anyone monitoring it as to what I actually am browsing. Rather than hiding my traffic or ensuring some hyper level of encryption I simply want to use maybe an LLM or something to create such a close facimilie to “normal” online traffic that my online fingerprint becomes useless as sub 5% of my traffic is actually real.
Essentially I want privacy through drowning out everything with noise. It seems like the harder the to unwind in the end if done in a clever way. That plus some basic security protections and I will feel fairly secure.
That’s the premise behind AdNauseam, albeit only for ads and not general navigation: It clicks all the ads in the background, so the data won’t ever target the real you.
