Infographic on Google Alternatives: Feedback? (lemmy.ml)

submitted 1 week ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

76 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I created an infographic of privacy-forward alternatives to Google products...and would love your feedback.

Is it easy to use? Enough white space? Intuitive? Sharable? Is there anything I'm missing?

The infographic image in this post is NOT clickable. The link above will give you a downloadable PDF with working hyperlinks.

Re: the legend, "easy set-up/use" means either that this is a big part of the alternative product's branding, or I've used it myself and found it easy.

In the map area, I have been trying all of the proposed alternatives but ended up using Magic Earth as my main alternative on Android. For walking, I use OsmAnd+.

Thanks, I'll check out Magic Earth!

Magic Earth is great, but unfortunately, it isn't open source. I've been using Mapy and it's far from prefect, but I think it's heading in the right direction.

Mapy Interesting! I can't get it to give me directions from one (U.S. residence to another), but I'll keep an eye on it.

Great list so far! I'd also like to recommend KSuite. They have email services and KDrive for storage.

I think I'm all set now,...but I will check this out and potentially add it to the website links page!

Any alternatives for Google Tasks?

mullvad browser was discontinued but ironfox is an up to date fork

It looks like Mullvad still exists ...but last time I checked, it was free and now it's around $5/month?
