That sounds like exploitation of free labor with extra steps and a vegan coat.

Cause one was created to make money, while the other was created to actually be used...

Sometimes the open source equivalent is better. SmartTube is a much better app than the official YouTube app for Google TV / Android TV even though there's just one developer working on it. Even if it didn't support ad blocking, I'd still use it. Very nice app.

Similarly, pirate TV/movie apps often have a much better user experience than the legit ones. Compare Weyd, Syncler, or Stremio+Torrentio to the Amazon Prime video app for example. At least on Android (phone, tablet, TV), the Amazon app is garbage even though there's highly paid employees working on it.

In both cases, the people who work on the independent apps usually care about the user experience and use the app day-to-day themselves, rather than being told to do whatever makes the most money for the company. They have no reason to lock you in or otherwise force you to use the app, and instead compete just by having a better app.

They made the RTX version, so now I can see it in 4k, thank you developers!

And it's actually not slightly worse but better in every way.

It might not be as polished and pretty but I prefer the simplicity and focus on just doing the thing it was made to do. Medilog is perfect example for this I'd say, it basically just storing text nothing fancy just regular inputs and calculates BMI. But best is I don't have to deal with internet connection and having an account cuz it's all just stored locally and that's why I love lots of Foss stuff it's just simple and doesn't need account and internet access depending what app it is. Still discovering Foss bus so far am very pleased.

Do you have any idea how many jira states our development workflow has?

I wonder how much appetite there is for project managers and scrum masters in the open source world.
