I got laid off recently and have some free time while job hunting. I want to build something open source, but I’m struggling to come up with an idea that people would actually use.

As the title says—are there any paid apps or SaaS products you wish had a solid open-source alternative that you could self-host? Could be anything—productivity tools, analytics, collaboration software, etc.

Would love to hear your thoughts!
