"needs root and patches to AOSP". So there go the banking apps mentioned elsewhere and you can just use postmarketOS. Still cool though!

how exactly is this solution easier than putting the very Parquet files on a classic filesystem. Why does the easy solution require an amazon-subscription?

what is your point? They talked about 15GB of parquet - what does this have to do with 1TB of parquet? Also: How does the tool you sell here solve the problem - the data is already there and can't be processed (15GB - funny that seems

I made it Python, added a simple json-config and mustache-templating. Very portable (where symlinks are), very flexible (also used it for termux for a bit) and very simple.

well, I don't know what you use? however - ZFS is in Ubuntu now, you can host a nice NFS-server easily. MiniIO is a single Go binary, databases are packaged too. - Slurm is packaged too! I have to admit this gets hairy if you want to h

Are there any sizable examples without Javascript at all? Also this uses a whole lot of custom code (and some DLLs vendored and created from the interop-native-packages...) to hook up to native Webviews (which might be fine for simple thing
