Maybe there is a developer somewhere that wants to contribute to open source. This could be a good list of which software needs his contributions the most.

Keep top-level comments short and single option.

      Oh yes, I’ve been looking for this for so long.

      If you’re on Linux, I think the elementary os one is supposed to be decent though I haven’t tried it.

      Windows has a bunch but they’re all ancient and abandoned.

      This doesn’t seem like software. What is the existing alternative to what you have in mind?

        Idk it builds as a single package, they just call it “Open Chemistry”. It’s a suite of applications, like LibreOffice but for chemistry.

      “problems” … to name a few :
      1 unstable & unreliable desktops and window managers,
      2 reinventing the wheel so many times instead of improving the quality of one main line.

      This so much, currently I’m using Progression but the dev has taken some features and put them behind a paywall :( . It would be great if we had an open-source alternative.
