While this is true, at the moment syncspirit is a faster on a small files (upto x15), and supports different platforms.

Yep, I plan to do 10-years asked “selective sync” feature

I think the new category - “open source and hand-made/human crafted software” should be introduced

It can be independent only if you “own” hardware/software, i.e. you can manufacture, change etc. If there is no hardware independency – you loose with software, then.

For which use cases it is better than bluetoothctl linux utility?

Ha-ha! Most of people thins that syncspirit UI is terrible :)

Well, yep. For now the positive differences are

• better speed transfers (up to x7 speed up on my setup).
• different UI (including unique features like see in realtime tree-like structure of remote/local folders).
• Windows XP support
• it targeted for long-awaited “selective sync” mega-feature (asked for many years by syncthing users; but it is out of scope of syncthing business, so, it will unlikely be developed). I plan to do it after 1-2 releases (after implementing “ignoring local files” feature).

Did somebody actually tried it? On real hardware? How it is?

Dinit for desktop, s6 for server.

What is wrong with s6 for desktop?

does it mean, that it will be possible to launch native (arm/arm64) raspberry-pi distro on virtual box?

shit like “left-pad” and other low hanging packages shouldn’t exist.

Thanks to AI there will the thousands of left-pad like projects

Adroid-UI is lower priority, probably will be done after finishing core features and implementing them in desktop.

Also, google seems moving towards making android ecosystem more and more close; this might be a problem.

However, if there are somebody willing to contribute with Android, then I help, of course.

No, there is no AI-generated code.

There is a plan to have system-tray icon for fltk-frontend, and it is claude-generated prototype. Probably, I’ll take some pieces of it for implementation.

Thank you for your question!

There are some benefits, among them:

• syncspirit is faster. According to my measurements it is able to sync linux sources tree folder for 2 mins vs 15 mins of syncing when using syncthing (that’s over a localhost, of course)
• syncspirit has a different UI. That’s matter of personal taste, of course, but I like to see the exact picture what is synchronized and what is not.
• syncspirit is able to run on more older software (i.e. from windows xp and up). Syncthing uses golang, and its software support is indirectly controlled by google (i.e. “artificial aging”); recent builds are running only on windows 10 and windows 11. Microsoft already dropped windows 10 support, so, I expect that in near future google will do the same.
• the long-term goal of syncspirit is to allow “selective sync” feature, which unlikely to be implemented by syncthing.

wbr, basiliscos

Not yet (I’m a solo dev so it is quite hard to do multiple builds). Patches welcome! :)

Somebody might find that behavior a bit making nervous if you don’t see progress, that it is running or that it was synced a few mins ago…

That’s why for that “daemonic” behavior programs hide themself in system tray :)
