Hi, what's the difference between this and others like [turtl](https://turtl.it/docs https://turtl.it/docs) or [camlistore](https://camlistore.org/ https://caml

  Turtle's new to me, so I'm checking it out now, but it and camlistore look to be much larger projects, targeting much larger platforms than freehold, which I specifically built to run on low profile devices like the Raspberry Pi. The demo video is actually running on a Raspberry Pi B. Turtle looks to use Rethink as it's backend, which in itself is a significant hardware investment / requirement. My target audience is more the guy wanting to sync his files back to his $35 Pi running in his basement, rather than the guy dropping $10 - $20 a month on a VPS, although it'll run on both. I know camilstore is mainly focused on data, and my vision for freehold was to eventually replace things like Delicious, and Evernote, and other 3rd parties that have my data all over the place. Now those apps aren't written yet, but I plan to eventually, along with some other things like a WebRTC and XMPP backend so I can replace hangouts, etc.
