KeePassXC/DX+Syncthing already does this. I have no reason fund this instead.
This comment reads like one of those 1-star establishment reviews on Google that says "I've never been there".
I honestly can't stand comments like these. Why is every technology discussion on Lemmy dominated by people congratulating themselves for using something 'better'? Most of the time without even being asked.
So others can correct me or copy. Stop projecting.
I mean their opinions are welcome but it is also lunacy to expect casual users to maintain or setup keepass+syncthing.
They fail to realize that these news are welcome and can only positively benefit open source projects.
Well said, I couldn't agree more.
Seems elitist to say people can't get two apps. Surprised to see this called lunacy, so it's good I commented to see this response.
I don't think its downloading apps that is hard necessarily, but there are a few big barriers getting in the way for casual users to run a self-hosted FOSS solution:
I think its pretty understandable that a normal person would preference "one simple app" than a DIY 2 app system when you consider the above.
Until someone makes a frontend for syncthing that's significantly dumbed down, it's not elitist.
