Thank you for working on this. As a long term user of Nextcloud, I appreciate alternatives. Nextcloud is a beast with a lot of features but most of the folks I know including me use it mostly for files so projects like these can be useful.
Most lightweight alternatives I found use some non standard format to store files instead of leaving it to the filesystem which keeps me away from using those. I am glad bewCloud is not doing that.
Think of it as a productivity hack - Less time spent switching apps means more time enjoying your distractions right where the real work happens: the terminal! :)

Hi! Watomatic developer here. The newer version does access internet (Github API) for following reasons:
- To show release notes in the app
- (in works) To warn users about outdated versions. This is an issue esp in the non Google Play landscape.
- (in works) To show recent contributors list in the About section
...
Having access to internet made lots of things easy so thought that was a pragmatic choice :)
I recently made this auto reply app for WhatsApp with a focus on moving away from it. Many are having a hard time convincing friends and family to move away from WhatsApp and I hope this tool helps with that.
It basically just auto replies to all WhatsApp messages with the message you set. Just enable it and set a message something like "Hey I am not using WhatsApp anymore. Please switch to Signal" and it takes care of the rest.
- Simple: Set the message and it auto replies to all WhatsApp messages
- Option to Auto reply to group chats
- Respects your privacy
- No analytics or tracking
- Does not connect to Internet
- Free an open source (GPL)
Future improvements (just a couple weeks away):
- Option to set reply frequency: For example users can set reply frequency to 1 day and it only replies once a day for each person/group.
- Support for auto replying Facebook messenger
Wow this is super amazing (and little horrifying). Never knew SVG can contain Javascript. Always thought of it as just a little safe vector graphics markup.
I think you are confusing Wolfram Language (WL) with Wolfram Alpha (WA).
> my MIT licensed open source project Resin [0] does pretty much of what WA does
Does it? Resin looks more like an NLP framework at a quick glance. WA is an actual answering engine with data included. I fail to see a comparison. Not to mention the website is down.
I have been replacing traditional apps with PWA's or mobile websites wherever possible (on Android). They hardly take up any space and also seem to behave well (drains less battery) compared to traditional apps.
I could replace the following with PWAs:
- Twitter
- Uber
- Lyft
- Google news
- Instagram
- Flipboard
- Shopping sites like Walmart, Wish
and many more.
Facebook and Amazon have no PWA's but have mobile websites. (Facebook mobile web works well with Opera. On other browsers it annoyingly redirects to play store to install messenger)
Yep, I agree. I personally like it being optional. Not end-to-end encrypted has an advantage of syncing messages to all other devices and use secret chats when privacy is more important than syncing.
Another feature I missed is ephemeral messages in secret chats: We can have messages automatically deleted after certain time (Although I wish the time settings are more fine grained).
