Bummer. We'd consider moving off of Dropbox and have everything in one place if we could support all of our Linux machines. Right now we have to have our files in Dropbox and our documents in Google Drive.

Thanks for posting that! We've also been a Haskell at scale in production company for a few years at Front Row, great to see others pulling off the same successfully. It's a small community so I'm happy to pool our resources

On a related note, has there been much progress in the past 20 years in the digital SLR space (edit: for consumers / photographers)? Mirrorless is interesting, Lytro was a cool concept but mostly fizzled out (edit: in the consumer spac
