  • I personally switched from NextCloud to Syncthing.

    Syncthing:

    • is easier for me to maintain,
    • allows for the “server” to be behind NAT,
    • lets me have multiple “servers” at the same time (eg. something at home and a VPS)
    • lets me have certain “servers” set as untrusted, so all data on them is encrypted, while others can have it unencrypted for easier access I put “server” in quotes, as Syncthing doesn’t really have a server, all clients are equal peers.

    On the other hand, NextCloud:

    • gives me a way to share files by link with others,
    • lets me browse files via a web interface,
    • mobile app lets me access files as I need them instead of having to synchronize everything.







  • Vim/Emacs/… starter kits achieve the same experience.

    Which Vim/Emacs/… starter kit sets up the same keyboard navigation model as Helix uses? I think that it’s its main strength, the selection -> action approach, which is quite intuitive (at least for me once I’ve tried) is what really matters in Helix. The rest is just an addition, the one that makes it a quite competent and convenient environment to work with, but an addition.
