yazz VS Filestash

Shameless plug. My own one of course :)

https://github.com/yazz/yazz

You can also try one I am building, a cross between Visual Basic and Microsoft Access here:

https://yazz.com/

i am working on such a thing myself at https://github.com/yazz/yazz. Also there are many other people trying to build something similar

I keep hacking away on Yazz for over 10 years now.... even if there is zero payoff I keep hacking... and that is what hackers do... we are not doing for the money... https://github.com/yazz/yazz

I really loved this talk and feel for Evan. As someone who was a VC/Angel investor in the space (I was the initial angel investor for something called LightTable/Eve) back in the day, worked for a couple of years at Red Hat, and am working on my own Open Source Language here: https://github.com/yazz/yazz (so yes, you could say I am a VC trying to build a low code product with my own hands), so I feel I have a valid opinions on this. I think that it is possible to make money in opensource as a little guy, but you need to have a combination of consulting, hosting, and support services. If your product is not able to encapsulate being sold and packaged as something that is possible to demo and sell to customers then you will most likely struggle to make a living from it

I am actually trying to make an open source successor, but using Javascript instead of Basic, at https://github.com/yazz/yazz and a demo at yazz.com

I'm still building a low code system with an easy to use component marketplace where you can edit components within the low code tool. Still a work in progress: https://github.com/yazz/yazz

Author of a framework that also stores it's code in IPFS for easy sharing (https://github.com/yazz/yazz). ScrapScript is a really nice concept with how it stores code. I originally got the idea for storing the code as a hash of the contents from Unison, and it looks like the idea is really starting to catch on with more and more languages now. Well done!

I’m working on a low core project that is already using content addressable source code that is stored in IPFS at https://github.com/yazz/yazz so it can be done

There are already some Dbos type systems out there. I built one which stores program state in SQLite databases and process state and programs are also stored in SQLite. In the oat I believe things like silver stream did the same too. The project I made is open source too: https://github.com/yazz/yazz

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.
