Guess that'll have to be now then. Getting this sort of crap is what makes me wonder why I bother putting this work out there in the first place.

The main premise was a way to have file sharing between tablets, phones, and computers. This does that. It is open source (as of now) and has an Android share app to boot[1]. Anything else you're very welcome to make yourself, it's not a commercial plug, I'm obviously disclosing my affiliation, I host this on my personal machine at home, you're just welcome to make use of this or not if you don't like it.

- shkkmo 5y agoIf it has a closed license, you haven't really "put it out there" yet have you? If you are already feeling drained by it, you probably don't actually want to run an open source project...
- lucgommans 5y agoThis discussion isn't constructive. To reflect on how I interpret what you write: first the complaint is that one can't self-host it when the post already contained a github link, then that it doesn't have a share app when in fact it does (at the same link that I now posted a second time), and now that I shouldn't be running an open source project altogether. Perhaps judge whether I am suited for running this by how I treat your contributions when you make them. Otherwise, there's always that fork button!
- shkkmo 5y agoI'm glad you moved to a more permisive license, it now could be self hosted with a bit of work. Neither your initial comment, nor the project readme discuss the Android App. You have to browse the project dirextory to find out that it exists. The Android app has the dro.pm url hardcorded as a string and generally does not appear setup to work with a self-hosted solution. All of this is fixable, but it very much belies a project that is immature. I would personally be uncomfortable promoting this as a solution without being very clear about the limitations and work required to fit the specidies use case. I definitely never intended to say that you shouldn't ever run an open source project. My earlier wording was not done well. My point is that if you are burning out this early in open sourcing this project, then maybe this particular project is not meaningful or valuable enough to be worth it to you.
- lucgommans 5y agoThat is fair advice, thank you for this reply (sincerely). I wouldn't describe this as burning out, for what it's worth, but I do see what you mean.
