Think of some stuff you may already self-host but it'd make it easier (and maybe keep your config simpler) to suggest to others if it had a desktop/mobile app version

I think it'd be pretty sweet to get like a single executable installation for a VPN server that internally generates a cert and then assembles a new executable that'll install and a VPN with that cert pre-configured.

Basically "Run this program on the computer you want as the server then run the program it gives you on a computer you want as the client." It'd make it really easy to proselytize against things like NordVPN.

I just want more apps to support sync-to-file so they're compatible with Syncthing.

Home server with in/out VPN, system auto - back up, hosting FreshRSS just to "subscribe" and sync YouTube channels. Why can't NewPipe at least just add auto backup at the very least. Sigh.

I have no idea what you are referring to but you could try LibreTube and see if they have it.

Text to speech, speech to text, machine translation.

We have some of that available as local software. But they're all limited or don't offer the same quality as their big (and proprietary) counterparts.

For text to speech I'd recommend Kaldi. It's just the android engine and has nothing else to configure/look at, but the quality of the output is really natural. FOSS, fully offline running locally.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

Isn't Kaldi speech recognition? So speech to text and not text to speech?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Speech Central is pretty good for the text to speech

Is this an offline self contained app?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

I believe so, it seems to have the highest privacy designation on App Store and im pretty sure it turns all my epubs and pdfs into guided audio visual readings without internet necessary or available.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

Well it uses Google services in android. Those can still communicate even if the app itself has no network permission. I guess for me the highest privacy designation would be to be FOSS, so people can verify it's not doing anything funny on the back end.
