Majority of the code is python and vue? And, what problem is this trying to solve? What does it do that other solutions don’t? I read through the repo docs and it’s just not clear. WTF does it mean “I don’t lose control” over storage on cloud storage?! If it’s on the cloud, you are not in control. May the downvotes rain down on this.
Good questions!
I just stick with Python, Go and Vue because I know them pretty well. I'd rather use a few tools I'm good at than try to use a bunch of different ones. It just makes my code tidier and easier for me to keep up with.
About the problem: the idea is to let you host your own stuff even if your computer isn't super powerful. You can use storage from other companies, but you don't have to trust them with your private data. Your files get encrypted on your computer before they even leave it. So, the storage company only ever sees scrambled data, never your actual stuff.
When I say not losing control, I'm talking about you being the only one who can read your data, not where the files are actually stored.
Oh, and yep, I do use AI tools, mainly Copilot. It helps me work faster on things like github actions, the
install.shscript etc. I don't really see a reason to hide that.Thanks a lot for taking a look, even if it's not totally up your alley!
