Kinda astonishing how some startup with almost no revenue that burned through hundreds millions of dollars is still able to acquire anything x)

Anybody use this? Either the cloud service or the open source command line file sync app? I've dabbled with the latter, but not much besides that.

I use it with ddev for local development.

I guess Docker's fuse fs on native is still too slow. I remember one of the options was filesyncing in some way, such as with rsync triggered by inotify.

As of December, Docker was doing $100M+ of ARR[0]. No where close to no revenue

I'm the creator of Mutagen, happy to answer any questions that I can about the project, acquisition, or anything else!

Think I'll stick with Orb Stack still though.

+1 for Orbstack, shockingly good.

I set it up for a team of ~30. This makes a huge difference for mounting things like `node_modules` with lots of inodes. The difference locally is pretty astounding.
