   Free plans sometimes work and sometimes don't. A good example of where they (at least seem) to work well is Calendly. Every time you use the service you advertise it (even when on the free plan), and if I had to guess, a good amount of

   Sure, if you have a VPN that's probably fine. Though this is another piece of tech you need to setup, and thus another barrier for non techies. That's why encryption (secure by default) is better than having users know how to secu

   Not everyone is a techie and can self host. You'd also need to self-host at home (even more of a pain). And anyhow, even if you are hosting at home, an internet connected server is much more of a target than a usually-behind-NAT phone.

   EteSync 1.0 (released 4+ years ago), was very much inspired by Git, and it indeed suffered from this problem. Each client had to replay the full log, and it only really worked well for lightweight data. With version 2.0 of the protocol (rel

   NextCloud doesn't support the EteSync protocol, so you can't sync your EteSync account with it. NextCloud is not encrypted.

   It uses the Etebase[0] SDK behind the scenes, so you can look at how Etebase works for how EteSync works. Here are the docs: https://docs.etebase.com/protocol-specs/introduction The gist of it is: everything is encrypt

    We wish it did too (developer of EteSync here). The problem is not on our end though, the problem is that ProtonMail uses their own proprietary (and closed) protocols and don't interact with the rest of the apps.

    It's not basically the same. Encryption makes the whole difference. With NextCloud all of your data is accessible by your provider, its employees, hackers, and everyone who gains access to the server. This is not theoretical, hacks hap

    Developer of EteSync here. You can share your collections with other users, so it's definitely end-to-end encryption. Though I'd argue that even if it was just single-player, it was still e2ee, because you have multiple devices an

    Thanks for the kind words! (EteSync developer here) Sharing: you can also do sharing from all of the apps (e.g. Android), but yeah, you can't share from 3rd party apps (yet!).

    You may also like Etebase (I created it), which is an open-source and end-to-end encrypted backend for apps. So it removes the extra layer (an additional provider) but still maintains the privacy and security benefits of self-hosting.

    See my sibling comment[1]: I highly recommend switching to FastAPI, but you need to know that if you plan on still using the Django ORM you will need to do quite a bit of manual stiching in order to get it to work. [1] https://ne

    We didn't do it because of performance, we did it because of size. We deal almost entirely with encrypted data which means binary blobs. Msgpack lets us send binary data directly without the base64 overhead.

    Yeah, I took a look at it but decided against betting on another new tech, especially in such a sensitive area where there are so many things that can go wrong!

    Thanks a lot for your work! We recently switched to FastAPI from Django rest framework at Etebase[1] and it's been an absolute pleasure! P.S, if anyone is interested, it took a bit of hacking, but we managed to get two unusual things w

    This is the advice I got. It essentially boils down to what capeterson said, but also because the 3.5mm mic jacks can be noisy, and laptops/computers don't have very good ADCs.

    Video editors, designers, and sound mixer are a few example professions where users mostly use Apple products. Most companies have designers. Additionally, companies don't choose their whole software stack based on their VPN solution.

    Why build it in the first place if you don't want people to use it? Also, a lot of VPN services are moving to WireGuard, they will hopefully contribute to WireGuard development in the future. You can't really do cost/benefit
