The most important ones that come to my mind:
Maps (like Google Maps, just FOSS) ideally with transportation routing for every country. This could be a lot of work and is definitely not a "small project".
Browser (like Firefox). Like 50% of everything I do happens through the browser.
File Explorer, PDF viewer, ...
maybe some puzzle games to play when bored. I don't really use much else.
Oh and a Youtube alternative would be nice, but not necessary. You can already visit some through the browser.
Firefox is available for PostmarketOS, it's almost fully usable.
