On a first look it seems quite promising.

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

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?

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 5 points 20 hours 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

[–] Sxan@piefed.zip 2 points 11 hours ago

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

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?

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 14 hours ago

DAV Push is the one I'm thinking of
