#23A combination of customer support chat (Intercom), customer relationship management / sales (Streak, NetHunt), and customer payments tracking. So basically, the stack that is needed to handle B2B customers as a startup. Currently these tools are very isolated, and where integrations exist, they are poor. We have to manage customers in 3 different systems that don't know about each other. When making sales progress on…
I agree - it’s shocking to me how immature any open source CRM out there is. Chatwoot is fantastic but only solves half of the equation. Chatwoot + a lightweight CRM would be a killer product for small B2B startups.

#25None of that office or bug tracking stuff is that interesting or important imho. There's plenty of alternatives that work well enough. The interesting stuff is the hardest. From Google services alone: language translation, voice transcription, maps/directions (open street map is only partway there and Osmand is almost unusable), and of course searching the entire web.

#26The database part of Notion/a simplified Airtable/Google Sheets storing to plain text files or CSV.
Editing and manipulating CSV by hand is a pain. Something like a simplified sqlite viewer/editor?

#27An RMM like NinjaRMM or N-Central, and HUGE points if it written in Ruby On Rails or VueJS. I would dump everything and move to there immediately, start contributing and sponsor. I want to write one myself, but I don't have the time.

#28Confluence.
I've been looking for alternatives ever since they did the stupid cloud shove, but I haven't found anything coming close enough and robust enough that I can give to everyone, from developers to sales and HR, without having to worry about teaching them another language.

#29A FOSS alternative to WolframAlpha's Mathematica. Some great software, such as sagemath, numpy, but I'm not aware of many. Though a key feature they don't have is "single-stepping" over the equation solving process, which WolframAlpha does really well (though still not for all equations). That feature would be above all useful for learning high-school level math.
