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.

Obsidian.

Is the obsidian Android App not open source? I thought all their stuff was. Kinda embarrassed I never checked.

Nah they use "an open standard" being just markdown files or something, but the apps are still proprietary as far as I'm aware

I really hate how I sometimes, though rarely, see Obsidian talked about as if it were open source just because it uses an open standard

Like Photoshop isn't open source because it can use PNG kinda thing

There is already an opensource alternative to Obsidian, its name is #Logseq, you have mobile and desktop app

Logseq uses a bit of a different paradigm though. It is cool, but I wouldn't say it's a drop in replacement.
