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.

I switched to Antenna pod a few month ago. It is a very solid podcast client with 2 exceptions. One is a bug that means hitting the play button on notifications only works half the time, and the other is Android Auto not allowing you to just pickup where you left off, you have to go into your queue and find the thing you were last listening to every time. Neither are a deal breaker, but both are quite annoying.

I really should sit down and see if I can help with the code, but I have zero Android programming experience. I would hope that auto play on Android Auto connect would be rather simple, but I have no clue at this point.
