Hi, I think we can objectively say that Slack or VS Code (Electron) are beautiful, while fractal or Notecase (Gtk) are not.

Hi, author here,

I understand the critics against the subjective criteria like "Look".

Look means: the ability to create a native app which is at least beautiful as modern WebApps.

e.g. Slack or VSCode (Electron) are beautiful, while fractal or NoteCase (Gtk) are not.

To the UI, too far from modern applications.

I also heard that the API have some misfit with Rust ownership model: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20368618

Hi, I would love to heard from your experience the easiness/difficulty to theme your Gtk application.

Also, In the analysis I tested Qt with QML, not widgets.

Hi, while I agree this criterion is highly subjective, I've based my analysis on the successful Desktop applications, and how it's easy/difficult to customize components.

Hi, thank you for the feedback.

By Look I mean The ability to create advanced UI which are not influenced by the Desktop native theme (as are all successful end user oriented applications). The ability to create a native app which is at least beautiful as modern WebApps.

e.g. Slack or VS Code (Electron) are beautiful, while fractal or notecase (gtk) are not.

Not all Qt libraries are LGPL, some are GPL likce charts.

Hi, it's great that you still had time to comment this post :')

Hi,

Thank you for the honest feedback.

Please take a look at the 2 following videos: https://kerkour.fr/blog/the-just-cause-and-the-infinite-game...

To understand the structure of the article.

This article is not intended to everyone, it's intended to those who believe what we believe. The early adopters, the potential contributors.

I'm really happy that you still found the time to post a comment :,)

Hi, Thank you about your feedback.

My though were more data like those produced by electric cars, Google maps users, smart wearable, IOT... Anonymized data, which are useful to make the world progress.

Privacy is our core value and one of our selling point. We will never sacrifice it for some quick buck by selling or mining private data.

Hi, I would love to be in touch, please contact me: https://bloom.sh/contact

As being a huge topic, federation is planned for Q3/Q4 2020.

I checked cryptpad, but I feel it's really lacking focus on user experience.

About e2e encryption, it's planned for Q4 2019, but collaborative encryption is really not an easy stuff. "Cryptography is a serious matter".

Thank you. It's planned (but no ETA for the moment)

Thank you for the feedback. I've added it to the roadmap.

Thank you!

Bug have been identified and is in progress to be fixed.

Thank you, You can check frequently the issue list to see if something might interest you: https://gitlab.com/groups/bloom42/-/issues

Thank you for this honest feedback!

Today is the WHY announcement: https://www.kerkour.fr/blog/the-just-cause-and-the-infinite-...

The what is an ongoing process :)

You are totally right. Today's announcement was to explain THE why: https://www.kerkour.fr/blog/the-just-cause-and-the-infinite-...

We had very good feedback and a lot of people would love to contribute :)

The what is an ongoing process.

To prove our goals are realistic we released this beta.

We had much more attention than we expected today. You can follow us on twitter to stay informed about the future updates :) https://twitter.com/bloom42

This feature has been requested a lot, and I'm very open to include it!

Hi Jean, I received your email and will reply, please give me some time for the things slow down.

Best regards, Sylvain

It's planned :) https://gitlab.com/bloom42/app-Android/issues/1

Resource were not size for the load. I'll increase resources :)

Thank you for the feedback.

The plan is as follows: Code is free and open source, but 98% don't have the time/the knowledge/the will to self host and will happily be us to manage and secure their data (like DropBox).

Open source is not much a marketing argument, but in my opinion the only way to build a sustainable future.

Not a clickbait.

Maybe the article is not crystal-clear but the goal is clearly to become the next Google. Not to be Google :)

'NextCloud' is what we are today, but I think it's not really relevant.

I've dared the Google comparison, because in my point of view, It's THE company who is changing the world.

You are right, but for the beta it was really the cheaper card in my hand because I didn't had to setup 10 server to assure data resiliency etc...

Thank you for the hint! I'll certainly do it!

Hi,

Email is currently not planned, because it's not easy (IMAP, POP...) to do it correctly and securely.

But as many users seems interested, I may add it to the roadmap :)
