spacedrive VS Filestash

In the video, Mo talked about a few packages like Cidre and StrOm, and we referred to SpaceDrive.

AGPLv3 (switched in 2022 https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive/commit/8e5c71dea... ) and FWIW I don't see any mention of CLA or other license assignment, so I don't believe they can currently rug pull containing contributed changes since they don't own the license for them: https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive/blob/main/CONTRI...

Already opened a bug report for that: https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive/issues/1481

While Electron wouldn't be on top of my wishlist, if it looked nice and was functional I wouldn't mind at all. I found this project https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive which uses Tauri and seems to be very interesting, but they haven't released yet

In Tauri (or Axum) the app compiles to a single binary. rspc is the key to this because it allows for multiple transports with the frontend. It supports both Tauri IPC, HTTP or websockets. Our core crate (at ./core) exports an rspc router that is transport agnostic then within the apps (at ./apps/desktop or ./app/server) we expose it with a transport. We use Tauri IPC for desktop and websockets for Axum because we use subscriptions. Then in the wrapper React project (at ./apps/desktop/src/App.tsx) we create the rspc client with the Tauri link, mount its React context and then mount the app package (). You can give the codebase a look if you want cause it’s all open source https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive

Taking a departure from REST and GraphQL, I'd suggest checking out rspc instead of GraphQL and Prisma Client Rust as your ORM. Both have been developed by a coworker and I for Spacedrive, the company we work for, and have provided what we believe is the best Rust + TypeScript stack that doesn't use GraphQL (new GrpahQL server incoming one day tho).

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.
