It’s too bad that GLIMPSE fork never took off.

They’ve been working on porting it since back in 2012, and didn’t want to redo a bunch of the porting work before they even released it.
If you’re looking for more sources for your site, Wikimedia Commons has a page with lists of sources for freely licensed media, sorted by content type. The photography list in particular is really long, and sorted into categories.
It usually implies it’s weird in an old-fasioned way though.
I’ve had it freeze up on me several times, where I had to reset the app to get it working again. It works most of the time, but I wouldn’t recommend it yet for general use.
Hacker’s Keyboard hasn’t had a real release in about 5 years, so it can be slightly buggy.
Unexpected Keyboard is pretty good. It’s got the complete keyboard layout available including stuff like Control and Function keys, so I think it’s an acceptable replacement. It uses swipes to type other keys, which I’m not sure if I prefer, but it works well enough. I set the swipe distance higher because I would accidentally swipe from time to time.
If you check “I’m an advanced user” in the settings, then hit the “More” button in the dropdown a few times it’ll show the more advanced interface that lets you choose which third party domains to allow. It doesn’t work quite the same since it blocks both content and scripts per site, but I find it good enough for my usage.
edit: You can technically block just scripts per 3rd party site, but it involves manually editing the content type for your rules in the settings. It’s not part of the main interface, so I never bother using it.
There’s Anki which is one of the most popular flashcard apps. Kiwix is pretty great for having tons of offline content from websites like Wikipedia, StackExchange, and Khan Academy, but I’ve run into a few bugs with it. I believe the current version isn’t on F-Droid but they plan to remove the non-free build tools in the next version. There’s the translation dictionary QuickDic. There’s some language specific apps like Der Die Das and Starke Verben for learning German, Kakugo, Fun with Kanji, and Kanji Dojo for Japanese. There’s several language specific dictionaries like Nani?, Nheengaré and a PReVo. For learning numbers/time there’s the Nanji clock widget that can show the printed time in several languages.
The biggest thing is probably non-destructive editing, so you can do stuff like apply filters without them changing the underlying image. Gtk3 should add better support for tablets and wayland. There’s also better layer tools and font support. A lot of it was on the backend, which should eventually allow for using other color spaces like cmyk natively.
