Most RS apps will automatically sync the data to the remote storage, when it's changed on your desktop. And when you then access it on your laptop, even in a different app than on the desktop maybe, it would sync whatever you changed d

The main difference is that the app developer/provider doesn't have to see, secure, or pay for storing user data. Users themselves are in full control of their data, and they can permit any app to access segments of it. Check ou

I use my RS accounts for exactly this, in combination with Huginn for example. It's super simple, because you just PUT or GET, with the bearer token for one segment (called "category" in RS) in the Authorization header. And y

Actually, this has been pretty much a non-issue for us in production over the last 5 years. As the reference JS client library works offline first, it'll just sync data whenever the remote becomes available again. In fact, that's

I think so, too. Let's make it happen! :)

Tent's goals sound similar on the frontpage, but are actually very different. It's more of a communication protocol than a a data storage one. This page is slightly more informative, albeit not much: https://tent.io&#x2

Thanks! I love how many different providers you support already. Ping us on IRC or the forums if you need help integrating RS into your app.

That's why you can choose a storage provider to do it for you. But as with email, you're not locked in to a single provider, and small ones will probably not scan your personal data using AI/ML algorithms, like e.g. Google do

This is roughly how the library works. It will compare the directory listings with the cached items and only download new and updated ones, as well as remove deleted ones.

Yes, it is a key/value store as base technology. The important thing is that you can build anything you want on top, which includes for example indexes and such. The idea is that this can/will be implemented on top of a simple bas

> Of course, no server is actually that dumb - even a file listing with file sizes can get you part of the way there. But if you've got 10000 files in a file store, that list can still get pretty heavy. Exactly. remoteStorage has ET

The storage can't do the scheduling itself, but apps can do it on top of dumb storages.

It was never quite finished, as the protocol was missing some features at the time (content types in folder listings e.g.). Should be rather easy to implement, though. Here's the old repo: https://github.com/remotestora

I didn't notice that JMAP includes calendars and contacts. Looks good! Personally, I'd prefer a dumb storage with a generic API over yet another custom protocol/API just for these data formats alone. Worked great on people&#x

Yes, and then you have another optional version of WebDAV, adding to the existing mess, while you don't actually have the benefit of interop that you say would be the reason for using WebDAV in the first place. The way I read it, that&

Actually OS X is pretty consistent with keyboard shortcuts compared to other OSes. It's even one of my favorite things about it. That said, the checking mails example is a bad one, and moreover it used to be the usual cmd-shift-R and they o
