The Repro iOS app and website will go offline next week.
It’s been an interesting project. I built it from scratch and learned a lot making it. Wrote an iOS app, handled user feedback and went through several updates, later I also built and maintained a server backend API and an accompanying public website. Overall, I still like the idea but the thing is that I like some other ideas even more and need more space to pursue those.
Bye, Repro!
Tiny Player for Mac version 1.2.8 is out now. This update brings the following improvements:
As I lean towards self-hosted software, I recently switched from Bitbucket to Gogs.
Gogs turned out to be one of the best web-apps I have used in a long time. It’s easy to install and maintain, with a simple and fast interface.
The issue tracking and wiki are quite minimal but work well. I do miss an equivalent of Github’s “gists” to hold small snippets of code independent of any repository.
Running on a standalone $5 Digital Ocean VPS.
UPDATE: After using Gogs for a while on a small VPS, I ran into problems with RAM consumption for larger repositories/commits when doing git pull. This fixed it:
git config --global core.packedGitWindowSize 16m
git config --global core.packedGitLimit 64m
git config --global pack.windowMemory 64m
git config --global pack.packSizeLimit 64m
git config --global pack.thread 1
git config --global pack.deltaCacheSize 1m
On this reddit thread a bunch of people criticized / made fun of the fman file manager and how the author had spent over 3000 hours making it.
Some argued that making a general file manager application was “easy” and the author of fman had spent way too much time making such a simple app.
Yes, you’re wrong. Anyone who goes to make a tool as general and versatile as a file manager deserves huge respect.
Doing a UI prototype for two pane file list that lets you browse files is EASY. Making a file manager that actually helps you manage files is HARD.
Let’s see what needs to be considered when we try to COPY A FILE:
All this must work 100% of the time, on 100% systems, otherwise someone is going to lose their data.
I don’t even know if fman actually takes care of all that, but my point is that I can imagine one could easily spend a good portion of development making JUST THIS and I would consider it a great achievement if it actually worked.
