I love the idea of this, but I tried to spin up my own instance and was immediately overwhelmed by the million little knobs and settings for it.
It seems like a lot of fun if you understand all the tuning, but I feel like the current state alienates most users who want to use it in simple scenarios.
- bityard 4y agoThere are lots of settings because it's very powerful software. I don't understand the part about being overwhelmed... surely the developers have chosen sane defaults for most things and you can just ignore the ones you don't understand?
- mtlynch 4y agoThat wasn't my experience. YaCy didn't do what I wanted out of the box, so I was just left with 100+ settings that I didn't know how to adjust to get to a desired state.
- rasulkireev 4y agoWhat did you want to use it for, if you don't mind me asking?
- 6510 4y agoDefault settings works well enough but I agree 90% should be hidden behind an advanced settings check box. (I suspect the organization of features is more obvious in German.) There are also lots of other cool things one can do that are not in the interface but arguably should be. That said, for what it is it is pretty epic already. As a proof of concept it's completely convincing.
