There is no such thing that can display, combine, annotate and export images and pdfs in such an elegant drag and drop way. It's just so useful and quick, there is no competition.
I'm thinking of forking one to run it through some LLMs (e.g. shopping list), but I haven't found any I'm happy with. I might just open source one myself if that's the case.
It's also a common interview question before the standard became movie listings. I believe the bootcamp and university standard is food delivery apps now.
There's plenty of code out there, but the student ones are underengineered and the interview ones tend to be overengineered.
Paint.net. There's GIMP and Krita which are significantly more complex, and Pinta is wildly unstable in my experience (plus missing some important features). Paint.net perfectly hits that balance between complexity and ease of use for my purposes, and is the only piece of software I really miss from Windows.
Dropbox server implementation. Has a great open source MacOS client, but the server implementation is needed. I would contribute financially towards such a project, as Dropbox will never be satisfied to remain reliable file sync (and I am currently a paying customer). They keep churning features to expand the TAM. This will eventually lead to enshittification. Underlying storage could be any S3 compatible target. Each file could be an object, stretch goal would be deduplication across blocks such that Dropbox’s Pocket storage system does.
