Show HN: Kvass, a personal key-value store

It was easy to share public links to values hosted on the file system in 1995 with Apache. It remains easy today with Nginx and other web servers.

Syncing filesystems across networks with rsync has worked well for years.

If you are considering a personal key value store, you are probably already familiar with web servers and rsync. If not, they are two general purpose tools which are likely to be useful for other projects as well.

I was absent the day of the infamous Dropbox comment.

You're just parroting the original comment which was proven to be so so wrong in practice. Most people aren't able to / don't want to duck-tape random systems together like this.

I could snakily ask you what's the point of Nginx? Why not just run a dial-in BBS? Don’t you have the skills to do that? Why do you need this fancy Nginx and why did anyone bother writing it? That’s what you sound like.

There's value in building something that is integrated.
