Maybe the dev isn't very clear about this. I agree it could be more clear up front. But does this mean devaluing their work by calling them "just another hustler"? I believe this isn't necessary. And sadly it totally devalues your comment for me.

The output is very polished and fast, I like it a lot. Unfortunately it's not technically a single file as it depends on code downloaded from their server, therefore it can't be deployed locally without Internet connection. From the forum: "In terms of license, you don't need an internet connection. However, Files app loads it's own Javascript, CSS and several plugins from CDN (jsdelivr.com), and this requires intern…

Yes, the Second Coming Of Java that was PHP5 was where PHP lost its DIY magic.
The magic of PHP is it’s fantastic backwards compatibility. You can still execute PHP4 spaghetti code in PHP8. As side effect it even executes faster and uses less resources for it.
I like what I see on the site and in the comments here. Im looking forward to checking this out more maybe. Im kind of surprised that as a species we dont have a conclusive ubiquitous solution to the foggy problem of digital photo storage / management. So many of my photos are just in drawers on old hard drives and phones. Anyway maybe its getting better. Or maybe Im just stupid.
I understand the risks of this approach, but I just dumped everything into google photos and I'm very happy with how it's working for now. I do not miss the days of keeping track of those devices at all.
Then my family is confused about where photos live, etc.

As per [1] from below - Apparently it's a nag-based paid software with an otherwise restricted feature set. This is not clearly explained on the page. In fact, it looks like the site goes out of its way to try and pass for free software - the Demo is NOT of what you are actually downloading, no pricing info, no mention of Basic vs Full versions anywhere, including the Docs, except for an dull looking blurb at the ver…
Well to be fair, that can be explained by the whole 'drop this PHP file in and wham' model they are going for. Personally I would not advertise / make something like this as the single-file model becomes more and more of a constraint as the project evolves. It feels needlessly limited just to fit the single-file goal.

No pricing info? "Files is free to use with basic features. To remove the license-popup and unlock additional features, you may purchase a license [$39] from within the app."
Not clearly visible until you scroll down to the very bottom, no. Most paid projects like this (that I have seen, anyway) have clear pricing info on the front page, or at least a Pricing item in the navigation bar. This site has neither. I feel like this is a bit misleading as you're immediately told to download the file, then perhaps discover that it is paid software later (or once you've already installed it), but I am willing to assume incompetence on the developer's part here.
