Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I've really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.

Obsidian for Knowledge base, note taking. https://obsidian.md

Edit: TIL not open source. sorry. They even had a Github and all. I wasn't paying attention. I have to move now :(

Sadly Obsidian is not open source or free as in free speech. For individuals it is free as in free beer though

Yeah seconded that it’s not FOSS but still a great app. Logseq is a good FOSS alternative for a knowledge base, and I really like Zettlr for long form md writing and note taking too.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

IIRC it is not open source.
