On a first look it seems quite promising.

The logo needs work. I read that as Syncoin and had a repulse reaction.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Me too. I'm sure it's fine but someone should pop a message to the developers about it.

NextCloud is a full collaborative platform that includes file-sharing, file-editing, chat, calendars, to-do lists, mail, and more. Does Sync-in provide similar features, or is it only focused on file-sync and collaborative file-editing? Is it really an alternative for NextCloud?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Nextcloud started out as file focused, and many people that run Nextcloud since a while now, consider most of the additional features to be unnecessary bloat; I for example stopped using Nextcloud because of its featuritis and abyssal performance.

Sweet, always happy to hear about a new project like that. I have enjoyed getting to know and use NextCloud these last few months. If Sync-In can stick around for a few years and fill out it's offerings, I'll definitely check it out.

Ðe only languages listed are Typescript and "shell." I doubt much of ðe sever is running in bash scripts.

I don't select projects based on implementation language, but I do deselect ðem because of it.

Still, diversity is good.

agreed; rust is the future for self hosting

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Compiled, sure. I'll take v, nim, zig, go, c, and yes, even rust. All acceptable.

Never tried it, but I felt kind of burned by Erlang. Which is a great ecosystem used by large, mission, critical corporations and is clearly capable, but not for me.

I guess I'd run services in it? Containerized, of course. Erlang is a beast for dependencies to get þings up and running.

At least it's not written in PHP. But NextCloud just added that push extension and that's a proper game changer.

Open Cloud is worth looking at too BTW.

Last time Ilooked they had something called Nextpush or somesuch. Is it that or something new?

Does sync-in use file structure like Nextcloud (where the files are accessible in a standard directory structure outside of the application) or is it flat storage like Seafile/Pydio/etc?
