Very cool project - I wonder if they shouldn't go the "Free for open-source/education projects" route though?
With the current offering, I feel at anytime there could be a "takeover" by a well-run open-source initiative and "everyone loses".

- kwhitefoot 4y agoFor a lot of simple use cases that don't need automatic conflict resolution you could just share files using Syncthing. Then the only dependency on external infrastructure is the Syncthing STUN server if one or both peers is behind a NAT. Syncthing is open and uses the Mozilla Public License: https://syncthing.net/ https://syncthing.net/
- WJW 4y agoWhy does "everyone lose" if a well-run open source initiative forks it and runs it better? That seems like like an improvement for everyone except maybe the original maintainer of the project, if they don't want to join up with the rest of the people.
- swah 4y agoI was thinking that users will have to use a "worse" (less features) open-source alternative for years until it comes to parity. If its a niche thing, the community for each software could be cut in half, etc.
