Really nice! Since Unsplash is mentioned in the About page, I hope it doesn’t go the same way with a strange non-CC license at some point. (Also ideally sticking to just Attribution and Share-Alike as now. :) I tried out the feed at /f

> At this point, my only criticisms are that I think the installation should be more idiot-friendly, and the UI smells of 2012. One of the Nextcloud designers here – thank you for the honest feedback! :) Could you share some more details

For small apps like these, sign up is really a pain. That is why a friend and I have been working on a simplified version, which is mostly based on links so you can also easy share a tab: https://grouptabs.net We also try to kee

Nextcloud designer here, thanks for the kind words! What’s something UX-wise that you’d like to see us focus on, or where you have suggestions? If you’re a designer, we’re also always looking for contributors :) https://nextcloud

Disclaimer: I’m part of the Nextcloud team (and formerly ownCloud before we forked). With Nextcloud we don’t offer hosting for a reason – we would compete with Google, Dropbox, Amazon etc. in a race to the bottom, and it wouldn’t be private

There’s always Riot https://about.riot.im/ which is a nice and fully open source app so you could set that up on-premise too. :)

As far as I can see, Tent unfortunately seems to be inactive. Last commit in 2013: https://github.com/tent/tentd , last blog post 2014: https://tent.io/blog

Yeah, that would be me. :) At some point we supported it, but it turned out that for security reasons you would have to have a separate domain for your remoteStorage than your Nextcloud – which kind of defeats the purpose of easy integratio

If you’re up for contributing a simple timeout or something like that I guess the developers would appreciate that a lot :) https://github.com/fossjobs/fossjobs/

Thanks for pointing that out! :) While of course showcasing the community is great, doing it just based on commits inherently skews towards developers and ignores others like designers, translators, documentation writers, community people e

Yeah, sometimes I’m really annoyed about the lack of collaboration between different open source projects. Asked them if they plan on working together: https://twitter.com/jancborchardt/status/800805611822665728 B

I’d recommend you too to take a look at Nextcloud News then: https://github.com/nextcloud/news/#nextcloud-news-app :)

by jancborchardt 10y ago
Did you try out Nextcloud News? https://github.com/nextcloud/news/#nextcloud-news-app We have a more modern design than Tiny Tiny RSS, are way friendlier, and if you would contribute that’d be majorly awesome! :)
22.
by jancborchardt 10y ago
We do that with Nextcloud News: https://github.com/nextcloud/news/#nextcloud-news-app I’d be interested in what you think about it. It’s completely open source, so any feedback or contribution is much appreciated!

Also just to add to this: The Nextcloud Box is a device running Nextcloud, not our main product. :) The focus continues to be the software, which is the server and the apps for syncing. All 100% open source at https://github.com&

Just to add to what Scott said: One important part is that the Nextcloud Box is just a device running Nextcloud. It’s not the main product. :) We focus on developing the software, which is 100% open source and at https://github.c

We do have an IMAP app for mail https://github.com/nextcloud/mail You can run that together with a Dovecot for example. It integrates nicely with Nextcloud Contacts for autocompletion and Files for attachments. Testing

Well, this is part of why we forked it to Nextcloud (disclaimer: I used to be Design Lead at ownCloud and moved to Nextcloud). We’re focusing a lot more on stability and innovation, and if you look at the Github statistics, you’ll see that

The Raspberry Pi is the obvious choice because it’s very widely available. :) Raspberry Pi 3 compatibility is coming with the next version. For Nextcloud itself people like to of course hate about it being in PHP just for the sake of it. Bu

Do you have one? If so, what exactly bothers you about it in practice?
