I am using it on my Android phone and syncing with my Nextcloud instance. Works like charm. On desktop I am syncing via Thunderbird.

I also sync my notes, contacts and other stuff via Nextcloud, as I don't wanna use Google.


Someone started fork called Braver

I have built myself a expense tracking tool, where I track my expenses. I have one "account" for my expenses and another shared one that I use together with my girlfriend.

I input expenses manually and each expense has a "category". For each category I can set a monthly "Bucket" (the maximum I wanna spent) and then I can track my progress during month.

Every month I get email with spending stats and I sit down together with my girlfriend to consider our finacial situation. We can change the buckets, etc...

I think the most inportant part is manually writing expenses and then talking about it after we get the email.


I've started as Ruby on Rails dev, also some Node and that jazz, but slowly moved to positions like Project manager, Scrum-roles and Product management. I am really excited about Open-source and would love to work on something related to it (either as dev, or some product/people role).

I would love to see their answer to this but my guess is that it would be: "Nope. See Semantic versioning (semver.org)"


I have an open-source app called stretchly (https://github.com/hovancik/stretchly) and I allow people to support it via paypal or patreon.

I ask people to support me by becoming my patron on Patreon as Menu item. Right now it brings me 11$/month (https://www.patreon.com/hovancik) and it goes up and down. I could do better by engaging more with people, I guess (in past some people donated when I fixed their issue very quickly).

Over time, some people also donated on paypal (5-15$ a time).

I am thinking to add "premium" features: users can access them after auth via patreon or github (if they contributed).

Premium features will be just some sugar, nothing that normal user could not do.

I also have newsletter where I try to bring some app related stuff that people might enjoy.

some tips:

- watch for mentions of your app on social media and interact

- ask for support, if people like your app they will help

- being open-source also helps

> collaborator then pushes some changes based on outdated information and breaks everything

github does have better ways to prevent that. that's the point of using git, right?


I have to agree that SpiderOak is terrible. Whenever I try to run it, my Mac goes crap. Everything seems to be freezing and OS is not usable at all.

Indeed it seems that they are moving to another products...
