I do realize that there are alternatives, but I just don't feel the need too. I am already fully within the Apple Ecosystem for other reasons. Continuity is icing on top.
I prefer Mac to Windows and I have zero desire to use Android.
But I also don't want to have to tinker with my personal tech when I don't need too. I just want everything to work, I already need to debug things for work or personal projects.
I have found that, I don't know if its due to my ADHD or what, but when I am working on something and something that should just work doesnt, than I never get the first thing done. And I heavily rely on Continuity for my workflows outside of work.
Its great that this exist, but I do think we have to acknowledge that there is a place for not needing to tinker with your tech and things just work. (Yes I acknowledge that even Apple's systems are not perfect, but still).
- bryanlarsen 2y agoI would consider KDE Connect to be in the list of things that just works.
- talldayo 2y agoSyncthing even more so. I set up my folders maybe 4 years ago and haven't opened the sync menu since. If you told me that the core technology behind it was fairy dust I'd probably believe you.
- runjake 2y agoCounter experience: I use Syncthing and sync breaks, conflicts or pauses at least a couple times a year. It's bad enough that I'm actually considering re-subscribing to Dropbox and using the Maestral app.
