Very cool, but I suspect that making it user-friendly and slick will end up being much more difficult than implementing the actual functionality was.
Edit: I have another question/concern, does the implementation in Haskell mean that the end product will have a runtime dependency on GHC or the Haskell Platform?
- mikeplus48 14y agoNo, ghc produces statically linked binaries by default (-dynamic if you don't like that).
- tomku 14y agoA quick check of the git-annex package in Ubuntu shows that you're right, no runtime Haskell dependency. I can only assume that the same will be true for the user-friendly "assistant". Thanks!
- egonschiele 14y agoThis is true, but then those static binaries tend to be very big (50+ mb).
- ZoFreX 14y agoYeah, I am concerned by the plan to create a web front-end for managing files in one month, it seems... optimistic at best.
- joeyh 14y agoThe web frontend is functional.. took 2 weeks. Yesod rules. (Still many weeks more polish and additional functionality, but kickstarter funded me for a whole year!)
- ZoFreX 14y agoI would say never under-estimate the amount of time polish takes - that last 10% of tweaking tiny details always takes a long time (or as the oft-repeated saying goes, the first 90% of work takes the first 90% of time, the last 10% of work takes the other 90% of time). Good to hear progress is promising though :)
