To toot the Nextcloud horn and suggest a provider, I switched from GDrive to Nextcloud hosted on a Hetzner Storage Share a few months ago and it’s been smooth and fun, for 5-6€/month for 1TB (not sure how it compares, but it feels a acceptable, as GDrive was costing me 3€). Now I also have my calendar, tasks, and I’m currently migrating my bookmark managing from Raindrop. I used to share GPhoto albums with family and I’m trying this next with the Memories app.
However, it seems like there’s no solution to easily backup Whatsapp content without GDrive, but as long as there’s less than 15GB of stiff I can at least stay on Google’s free plan.



I love citymapper, however it only covers a limited number of urban areas, is UK based and most importantly got bought by Via Transportation in 2023 (US based).
It seems like many city/regional operators have their own apps, this might be an option for you ?
You might also want to have a look at the apps that use transitous.org (listed on their homepage). Amongst them is cartes.app, which is a really exciting open source gmaps alternative wannabe, hosted in France (see cartes.app/roadmap for more technical details). Although it’s still a wip, they’ve made great strides recently and I’ve started using it to replace some of GMaps’ use cases. The only issue is, errrr, there’s no English interface for now :) It’s still a small team, so they’re keeping internationalisation for later.
