This thread is ONLY to talk about Weather/Meteo apps, Store apps (Like F-droid or AuroraStore) and FOSS apps about social media and related stuff, like youtube or Fediverse (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc…) apps.

For example, Newpipe is related to YouTube and a good FOSS app to watch videos.

Please, consider share your ideas and thoughts about apps on previous threads. Your opinions are really important to build final megathread. You can upvote or downvote posts so that comments gain strength and agreement between the community.

Discussion about Calculators, Cameras and Calendars apps is here.

Discussion about Manager files, Recorders, Galleries and Video editors apps is here.

Discussion about Keyboards, Notes, Maps and Music Players apps is here

Little context

Why not build a megathread with the best and most reliable FOSS apps too help someone who want to join on the bright side of open source?

We (because this is not from me, this is from us) need to share thoughts, ideas and all things you want to say. Dont be shy. Upvote the comments you like and agree; disagree and tell why you disagree. This is will be different from others threads because this need a proper user opinion, and your opinions will be VERY important to build this. In short, your opinions and thoughts will be the fundamental source to build this.

I will read ALL comments to build this. Even if this has a million comments, I’m going to waste time reading it. Whatever it takes.

Your opinions about it are CRUCIAL and FUNDAMENTAL, because your opinions is the main-base to build the megathread.

    Weather

    OpenWeather: shows weekly overview by default; if you select one day it shows you a nice graph of precipitation and temperature for that day. Good for figuring out the forecast at a glance.

    Weawow: the Hourly Details view is amazing for scrolling through the next few days hour by hour and seeing precipitation amount, precipitation probability, temperature, and so on all at the same time. I love the detail it provides. Also, I believe the beautiful pictures in the app are community-donated.

    Store apps

    Neo Store: Doesn’t allow auto-updating, but I like its layout significantly better than F-Droid.

    Social media

    Voyager for Lemmy: neat compact layout allowing you to see many more posts at a glance than any other app I’ve tried (Jerboa, Liftoff, Thunder). Also lots of nice features like marking newly created accounts with a baby emoji, ability to share comments as nicely formatted screenshots (I didn’t think I’d use this feature but it’s honestly so convenient!), and ability to customize swipe behavior.

      Everything is good, there are just few sentences I would add:

      Openweather works with gadgetbridge, so you can have weather info on your wearable

      Neo store is far the best, but also obtainium is the new thing in the town

      For lemmy, try eternity

      And for social media in general, there are plenty of good apps for different platforms, I think this category needs to be extended into its own section. Because there are foss platforms, clients for closed source platforms, pixelfed, mastodon, lemmy, etc. I mean it’s a lot
