Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.
If your designer suggests grey text on a black background, fire them. Parts are completely unreadable, other parts only hard. Not worth the bother.

Maybe a silly question but: is this by accident or a dark pattern? I hate it when this happens in the wild, but I never know if I should be suspicious of a dark patter or not.
This looks like an accident. Even many of the suspicious sites that do it seem to be an accidental side effect. The ones that annoy me the most are the news articles that trigger a history event on scroll. I think they do it as part of a tracking mechanism to detect scroll position, but the result is you have to press back twice to leave. I can't see the benefit, not like anyone is going to press back then say, "oh i…
aff... I understand that this is a good idea, but posting a project in HN without a release, and saying it will have , but have not implemented the cool features at the frontpage, like cloud integration, photos, search, tags, extensions, cloud integration(gdrive,dropbox,etc), key manager, etc... This is the dictionary´s definition of vaporware . Maybe all you want is to attract more developers to the project, but if…

Of course it's bad for accessibility, but for me only the "Coming soon..." text on the start page is hard to read. Maybe you have your screen set too dark? Anyway, it feels a bit harsh to discount the whole project because of an unfortunate design choice...
I was reading in the dark, so had brightness was low, but fine for any normal site.
This mistake is a common thing for people to complain about on accessibility forums. If you've lost lost any visual acuity, which a large percentage of the population has, your website is not usable.

A release would be good, but there are build instructions https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive#developer-instal... Not clear on what the build gets us from the roadmap https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive/blob/main/docs/p...
As one of the core team has mentioned, they didn't post it themselves, but rather a community member posted it.
It's definitely something that I'll be bookmarking for later though. It's a tool I could see myself using.

Rust is a feature because as anything written in rust is subject to one of the smartest typesystems on the planet, designed to make you do the right thing. It's also easier to maintain and refactor than many other languages. I definitely see it as a feature, but I don't choose software solely based on this.
I thought you were going for satire with your first sentence. Then I read sentences 2 and 3.

Yes. Why would I trust all my files to this? Needs to be a lot further along. why is "Rust" a feature? I could care less the implementation language as long as the thing works as advertised.
You seem to have a lot of expectations & be uninterested in the underlying technology. Open source is about more than "things work as advertised;" it's also about picking good tech & insuring we have open paths to the future we can advance on.
Your belief that "Needs to be a lot further along," applies to who? Yourself? Everyone? This seems like a great pitch to me, at a great time to get onboard.
