I'm currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I'm currently out of ideas, so I'd like to heard if from you guys.

Sorry if it seems to lazy to ask for ideas like that, I just thought that I could do it since the result will be a free app.

Xplore file browser

It's trivial to replace the independent pieces of xplore, but it has so many features in one app that I just can't let it go. It's got dual pane file browsing, disk usage chart, smb, ftp, and many other cloud storage connections. It also handles many types of compression.

It's become my main offline music player as well, because it has the simple ability to shuffle a folder of music, which is all I really need.

It can also view installed apps, export them to apk, and view and modify appdata (as non root!).

Why is there not an app that tells you which grocery stores have the best prices? I should be able to give it a list and it'll tell me where to buy each item.

Sailforms Android app!

https://groups.google.com/g/sailforms-users

Use like 12 years for keeping track of lots of personal stuff. It's a generic database / table / forms app that's very powerfull. Buttons, queries, reports, calculated fields etc.

But: the app developer stopped despite a rather enthusiastic community. Now it isn't even on the Play Store anymore and I guess everybody must have an exit strategy.

FLOSS Shazam? I really love discovering music when I travel, but I see no open source version of it.

File Explorer

I haven't checked in a while, but I am still using CX File Explorer because I didn't find a FOSS alternative I like. Maybe it is just because I am used to it, but one thing I really like is the network feature that you can access local shares of a NAS.
