Is there a decade-old software that provides a UI or an API wrapper around these features for a "Google Drive" alternative? Maybe over the SAMBA protocol?

#12Do you really need a database for this? On a unix system, you should be able to: CRUD users, CRUD files and directories, grant permissions to files or directories Is there a decade-old software that provides a UI or an API wrapper around these features for a "Google Drive" alternative?

#13Zero percent chance I will ever trust my critical data to a mongo-backed service, personally. With clients some of them have already made this bad decision; with my own personal files I get to avoid it.

put all kinds of versioned metadata on docs without coming up with strange encodings, and even though POSIX (and NodeJS) offers a lot of FS related features it probably makes sense to keep things reeeeally simple
and it's easy to hack on this even on Windows

#16Is this a fork of something? Or recently open sourced? Looks like there is a single commit where a majority of the code came from.
> Looks like there is a single commit where a majority of the code came from. I do this all the time, right before open sourcing a project. Basically while it's private, commit quality can be a bit rough, and if I want to open source it, I'll remove .git, make a new init commit then open source it. No one needs to see what I do in my private abode :)

#18How does it make money? Couldn't find any about us page or explanation. As we all know,if it's free, you're the product.
FWIW, the people working on this project has Mission and Vision pages on their website: https://linagora.com/en/mission https://linagora.com/en/vision
Took me a whooping 17 seconds to find those two.

#19In TypeScript, interesting. Not the obvious choice IMO but trying to keep an open mind. Was that because of team expertise or particular aspects of TS you thought suited the domain?

My first inclination too tbh. And then I saw Npm references and thought “in JavaScript?!” But at least it’s typescript.
