Serious question, is there actually a FOSS project out there at the scale of something like Firefox that survives on only donations?

But then who backs up the backups?

Have you got a more specific search term for Gemini? Unfortunately the word has been taken by Google

It’s a bit hacky but I suppose there’s always the option of using a separate WebDAV server on the directory where frappe drive stores its files. I haven’t tried something like that, though. Unfortunately I don’t know of any integration within frappe drive itself. Seems they’re accepting contributions now so it’s possible these will be implemented in the future. WebDAV is a bit of its own beast, though, so that’ll be a huge undertaking in my opinion.

And then their non standard file format turns out to just be a zip file or gzipped JSON data 😂

I assume that word also means something else than what I’m thinking…

But it’s good that viable alternatives exist in case Microsoft ever considers shutting down the Java edition.

I had never even considered that as a possibility but now it seems all too possible and I’m gonna have to sit with that for a while…

Assuming you put everything important in home, that is…

It’s the quickest way to prove to yourself that you know what you’re doing… Most of the time, anyway…

I personally go for “wizzywig” but to each their own.

You could check out Frappe Drive (and Frappe, the framework it’s built on, it’s pretty awesome). They aren’t accepting contributions at the moment but I’m sure that’ll change once it’s out of beta like with the other frappe apps. There’s also Raven messenger also built on Frappe and you can use the two together (but without any real integration between the two yet, but that’s on the roadmap on the Raven side).

I’ve spent a lot of time researching alternatives and NextCloud is the only one that does everything it does in one place. I’ve dug into the code a lot to find places to make it work faster and came out confused and mostly empty. It’s also federated, and I think it’s the only FOSS file sharing platform that is. It’'s a very mature application so you’ll be hard pressed to find features that are missing, but also to find things that could be further optimized without ripping out major chunks of the application which are likely interconnected with other major chunks of the application. For my personal use NextCloud instance I’ve resorted to just completely deleting the database and installing everything fresh between major versions, then just rescanning my local folder.

I’m a react native and flutter dev. They’re very, very good for 90% of use cases. Even if you’re only developing for one platform, they’re actually quicker to get started on and be productive than native development, especially if you use something like Expo to get your app started as fast as possible. If you’re doing performance critical applications or need access to hardware other than the usual camera/Bluetooth/internet, then you probably are better off writing it natively but that describes a very small handful of real-world apps and you can always selectively write some parts in native code.

EDIT: Also I didn’t think it had to be said cause I thought Xamarin was basically dead but yeah, Xamarin sucks major ass.
