He actually himself writes that he doesn't want to spend too much time on his apps:

Sounds like somebody really devoted to the perfect UI experience.

Look, I don't want to talk down this kid. Everybody starts somewhere and I like the enthusiasm. But him expecting to make $30 off everybody for plumbing together a bunch of FOSS libs is rubbing me the wrong way.

Yes just like instead of Dropbox for a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.

I don't check the project deeply yet so I don't comment about it.

That's not true Dropbox was in the technical edge when it came, and old time ago, was barely possible, and the recurrent cost of the severs and operation cost is clearly not the same. And pay Foss GUIs are sad state of reality

That comment above was a call out to the (in)famous comment when Dropbox was introduced on HN back in 2007

It’s the HN version of “less space than the Nomad. No wireless. Lame”

I almost didn’t get the reference :)

Note that this is only Part I of the original comment. Parts II and III are more interesting (but everybody forgets them).

Where is part II and III?

I recognized this reference.

This is true.

I have seen absolutely miraculous backends, totally pooched, because the library developer thought that GUI was for "wusses."

This is a good illustration of the arrogant intellect with no wisdom

I'm getting flashbacks to trying to manage my ebook library in Calibre
