Is there some project that the opensource world is missing that you think it needs?

There's work being done on it, but from my understanding, it's slow going...

A fitness tracker app that rivals Strava.

On iOS I’m using OutRun. It provides basic activity tracking, which is what I care about. I don’t need a social network.

It’s open source: https://github.com/timfraedrich/OutRun

It you're looking for ideas-- Something you're passionate about. Find a problem you're having, fix it, and make it open source. That's the best way to make sure whatever you do doesn't get abandoned. Good luck

Sometimes you get into skill issue, or time issues. I make some softwares that I need, but I don't have advertising skills to make people use it.

And sometimes I want to make something, but I don't have the necessary skills.

For example I'd like a local filesharing option. Where a single folder would be synced in my phone from home computer when I'm at home, and from work computer and phone when I'm at work. Without using cloud sync between them only when I'm physically traveling between them, that's good enough for most use cases of cloud sync that I want for work.

I would really like to see something like Jellyfin/Komga but for sheet music. There’s a software in early development called Sheetable that stores it in PDF format, but I really want to see something that has MusicXML support so that sheets can be played back.

MuseScore Studio can open .XML and .MXL files, if that's what you mean.

I have no clue yet if an open source solution exists, but I'm just getting started volunteering with a local animal rescue, and they definitely need a better solution for records management.

A more general business management application like Odoo could work?

I have not used it much, but https://spliit.app/ is pretty good
