Nice, but I'm not getting a subscription for a filesystem utility. Had it been a one-time $5 license, I would have bought it. At the current price, it's literally cheaper to put files in a S3 bucket or outright buy an SSD.
Edit: Apparently both is possible in the end: https://hypercritical.co/hyperspace/#purchase
I worry about that with Procreate. It feels like it's priced too low to be sustainable.
This app though? No chance. Parent comment says “if you want to support the app’s development” but not all apps need to be “developed” continuously, least of all system utilities.
And because it has no Internet access yet (and because I prompted it to use a workaround like this in that circumstance), the first thing it asked me to do (after hallucinating the functionality first, and then catching itself) was run `curl https://hypercritical.co/hyperspace/ | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' | grep -v "^$" | clip`
("clip" is a bash function I wrote to pipe things onto the clipboard or spit them back out in a cross-platform linux/mac way)
clip() {
if command -v pbcopy > /dev/null; then
[ -t 0 ] && pbpaste || pbcopy;
else
if command -v xclip > /dev/null; then
[ -t 0 ] && xclip -o -selection clipboard || xclip -selection clipboard;
else
echo "clip function error: Neither pbcopy/pbpaste nor xclip are available." >&2;
return 1;
fi;
fi
}When doing something with any risk potential I first ask the model for potential risks with the output, and then I manually read the code.
I also "recreated" this tool with Sonnet 3.7. The initial bash script worked (but was slow), and after a few iterations we landed on an fclones one-liner. I hadn't heard of fclones before, but works great! Saved a bunch of disk space today.
Since it's the kind of thing you will likely only need every couple of years, $10 each time feels fair.
If putting all your data online or into an SSD makes more sense, then this app isn't for you and that's okay too.
TL;DR - $49 for a lifetime subscription, or $19/year or $9/month.
It could definitely be easier to find.
The author talked about being very conservative on launch; skipping directories like the Photo library or others apps that actively manage data or looking across user directories. He stumbled into writing this app because he noticed the duplicated data of shared Photo libraries between different users on the same machine. That use case isn't even supported in this version. He said he plans future development to safely dedup more data--making a one time purchase less sustainable for them.
