That is the longest README I think I've ever seen.

This got a laugh though: https://files.catbox.moe/i1fdsa.png

This thing is impressive in its feature set. That it’s a self contained wad of python is doubly impressive. I (unsubstantiated) worry so much that there is just a litany of issues hiding in it, being such a broad multi protocol system. But on an internal protected network, huge for a group of friends to share stuff with.

The author has an impressive demo server with lots of good content too.

love to see the anti-AI stance!

I've been meaning to set this up and try it for a year now. Maybe this will be my weekend.

I'll try it out. Nextcloud can't be any less than way more than I want from it, and the lighter options have been not quite what I want either

So, what do you think the odds are that I would get this to work in Q-Python plus on Android?

I always like a challenge, but I don't know if I have the time to do it. I'm just curious before I start.
