Useful project. Name that no reasonable company would allow IT department to use. 10 out of 10! It worked for CockroachDB. I hope it turns into a unicorn and I'm not joking about that.

I can't remember what the package was, but when I was working for "large bank", one of the npm dependencies we wanted to use had a licence file that just said 'Do whatever the fuck you want'.

Legal came back saying that it was "highly unorthodox, but approved for use"

Neat project, but what does this do differently than docker compose with the --host flag? https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/#host It uploads your whole local docker context, source code and all, builds the image on the remote server and up's the container(s) all with a single command. I use this all the time when deploying simple services to avoid all of the complexity of registries etc. docker -H ssh://re…

To me, it looks like this new project is aimed more at being able to develop remotely and share your localhost:3000 env instead of getting a real production box up. Bidi sync etc... hints at that, it's like having a 2-interface dev env.

I don't see that at all?

I believe people chose to pay Adobe subscriptions simply to avoid explaining the acronym for the GNU Image Manipulation Program in meetings.

This is a steaming pile of SFTP. Why not use rsync or wrap it if you must? For anyone who's interested in proper bidirectional sync check out Mutagen.[0] [0]: https://mutagen.io/documentation/synchronization/
