OpenAdapt VS Filestash

> Rabbit has said the device will be able to learn any app, if you teach it.

We're building this over at https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/OpenAdapt. OpenAdapt learns to automate tasks in desktop apps by observing human demonstrations.

Early demo: https://twitter.com/abrichr/status/1784307190062342237 (more coming soon!)

The demo is overly simplistic to keep it short -- it also works with arbitrary applications and operations.

Also, we're open source. Contributions and feedback are welcome and encouraged :)

Very interesting, thank you for making this available!

At OpenAdapt (https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/OpenAdapt) we are looking into using pm4py (https://github.com/pm4py) to extract a process graph from a recording of user actions.

I will look into this more closely. In the meantime, could the authors share their perspective on whether Memary could be useful here?

See https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/OpenAdapt for an alternative that works with desktop GUIs.

Not mentioned: learning from demonstration. This is the approach we are taking at https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/OpenAdapt.

Congratulations on shipping!

Check out https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/OpenAdapt for an open source (MIT license) alternative that also works on desktop (including Citrix!)

https://github.com/mldsai/puterbot is designed for all desktop applications, including browsers. We're also working on a chrome extension to support reading/writing directly to DOM: https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/OpenAdapt/pull/364

Filestash — A Dropbox-like file manager that connects to a range of protocols and platforms: S3, FTP, SFTP, Minio, Git, WebDAV, Backblaze, LDAP and more.

I made https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash out of the need to collaborate on org mode documents with non emacs users. Once the first release was done, I got to reflect on the infamous top comment of the Dropbox HN to make an attempt at abstracting the storage aspect of Dropbox so those org document could be made stored on a FTP server, SFTP, S3, ....

> we need an abstraction for just this. "Bring your own storage"

I made exactly this: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash and there's an API from which you can abstract any kind of storage: S3, SFTP, FTP, GIT, WebDav, Samba, Local FS, NFS, Backblaze, Storj, Artifactory, .... There's even some funky ones like Mysql from which you have an abstraction where first level folders are databases, second level folders are tables and files are the actual rows

Yes, I rewrote my react app onto vanilla JS using nothing else than rxjs, didn't have the time to document it all yet but it looks like this: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/blob/master/pub...

I'm not familiar with Cloudreve, but FileStash is a similar application often recommended on this subreddit.

I do use them on my OSS work (https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/tree/master/pub...) which is used by many thousands of people

This is what I wish Dropbox was, a simple layer that make interacting with your FTP server easy so nobody has to own your data. The end game is both to be feature complete with Dropbox and be able to change every aspect of the application through plugin so everyone can get out what they want from it.

> but I don't think its the companies responsibility to give back to open source just because they use it

As someone who does quite a bit of OSS, the reality is most people are asking for things but aren't willing to pay for it. Take Microsoft, I had one of their employee asking me to support their azure stuff: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/issues/180. When I found out the dude was actually employed by Microsoft, he started to talk some nonsense and ended up running away.
