  @MikeJShowalter The issue is the use of the data to train models not retention. Acting as if this is the same a Dropbox is disingenuous. They will not use the data to train for non-safety issues. Non-safety issue is doing some heavy lifting there. Do they have an outline of what this means?

  @PhilipLeworthy The Android app is going to unfortunately remain on CalDAV + Dropbox sync for now. I'll be updating it to fix a few issues as well as Tablet related compatibility issues but not major features planned. It remains functional the way it is albeit with a few limitations.

  @C3_NSFTooth Itch io could be the way to go. They've recently started walking back on several limiting NSFW things that were forced on them by payment processors. Else Dropbox and Mega are options as well, though Mega is a terrible website to use and will force their App down your throat.

  M&A brokers are still using Word templates and Dropbox to package deals. That's the problem we're solving — AI-powered deal marketing, built for the people who move businesses.

  track back to just over a year to now. i'd built an automated ecommerce flow that took a whole store end to end. seo would research trends, products, and map those into .js scripts which would launch prompts that read those research files. that would feed an image gen prompt which created designs, set to specific standard. i'd generate them, and then ANOTHER prompt, would check the images, score them with a criteria, and either move them to an accepted folder, or move them to an archive folder. the accepted folders, would automatically fire a script which would open photoshop, map the image to smart layers, in a 'product shot' template i'd made, and then export all of the final product shots to another folder, and then exported the flat designs which would be used for the products. another script took the product images, did visual lookups, generated all product descriptions, renamed the images and generated the seo text. it ran optimizations locally via a jpegoptim and oxipng script. it then uploaded them to dropbox, and via API, would generate a dropbox link map. i had one barebones csv template, which i'd run a ps1 script through to map json files into the csv rows, and insert the dropbox link map. all my images, links, followed the exact same slugs, so it turned 2 hours of manual work into a 5 second bulk rename and insert. it then converted that csv into json, which then itself converted that json into ld-json for product rich listings. ai would write the product description based on a dataseo keywords, and googletrends json file that would run on every product type. collecting keywords for that specific product. it also formed it around brand profiles, copy guides and other things. this was sonnet 3 days, GPT 4.0 days, and it STILL wrote great copy when it had the right guidance. in the .js file, i'd replace all em dashes with a hyphen if they ever appeared. i built a custom product uploader, built my own php plugin which synced to local .js files and connected via rest. it was (and still is) one of the best wc product uploaders that exist, as it completely resets filterlookups only for that product, and is lightning fast because i upload it directly into woocommerce rows from json. no importers, no wordpress malarkey, or WC rest needed. it was 50x faster than wc's own CSV import. the images would be uploaded via ftp, and then on detection, would sync those to the media library, and i'd upload the image meta from the seo run, so they all had captions/alt text etc. it took what would be 3-5 hours of manual work per product, and congested it into a 2 minute image to fully live product system. after that, i'd export sales data, the ai was constantly learning, sales data feeding back to files, which would then teach the ai what products work, what doesn't. what copy worked, what copy didn't. that would then flow back into the original source files which told the ai what images to gen and what products to launch. all of it was local on my pc. i wasn't selling an saas. it was just something that worked for my very particular setup. the thing about it is; i built that mostly with GPT 4.0 and a little bit of 3.5! mostly copy and pasting code manually from the chats in chatGPT. all the plugins, the php, everything. then some of it got improved inside vscode back on the old original copilot plans, when $10 used to last you an entire month of none stop coding. this was before n8n, before agents were even a thing. all of that I built very specifically for myself, local, syncing folder to folder, json file to json file. python scripts watching files, and .ps1 files that would follow up with other .ps1 files, which launched .js files which contained prompts for AI, and hitting the openAI API's whenever I needed the AI layer. eventually i built a terminal tool, which would allow me to run the scripts from the terminal, and i'd manually type in the slugs for which products i wanted processed. all files would sit in specific folders, and scripts would do the rest. i was so excited about that, giving my terminal app a shortcut icon and putting it onto my taskbar. that was a year ago. fast forward to now. the game has changed so much. ANYTHING and i mean anything is possible now. people 'new' to codex, and CC etc don't know how good they have it. my advantage is that i have a year of scripts, a year of tools. i've laid the SYSTEMS in place, to fully map out entire features, precisely, and organized, and build out projects, in one hour, and have it implemented within the next. entire saas features - mousework. but i've had this ******* idea for so long, to build a fully automated, self learning ecom business, that launches products end to end based on it's own research, writing, and growth, but the complexity of it previously , and being busy with life, it never got finalized. the secret is i sync it via etsy too, but they're API keys take FOREVER to aquire, but built my own etsy system, product uploader, which runs across 7 different stores. however, now, i've finally been building the replacement for it. i'll be able to run that exact same system, except this time through a full app, with a canvas, and agent systems instead of .ps1 scripts. not to say i won't run scripts; they're an integral part of any automated workflow, but now it has superpowers, and it can do so so so much more. all the ideas I wanted to do, automated, fully, end to end. not only that, but i moved away from woocommerce entirely. instead i just built my own website builder, which is also fully automated end to end. my brand profiles, my artwork system? i'm still using those, just for more things. now i can launch 50 brands just like it, running the same system, all in about 5 minutes. whether it's saas, local service, or online ecom. i also built an ai automated ad builder. it takes my brands images, or generates images. i've got background removers, and full skills and agents which fully generate the ads for me. it mixes all that into seedance videos, and posts in logos etc. now i take those image/videos, and build instagram, tiktok, facebook vids, generate descriptions, and upload them automatically. it has an every growing library to source from, templates to use, and the system derives right with the websites, so all themes/styles match precisely to the brand. this is why it's so great building for yourself. the amount of reusability you get with it, the fact it's free forever, can never be beaten. none of these saas companies get it. and they're heading in the wrong direction. we could already DO half of what these companies are doing. my own personal SEO system, which i built for my automated web builder, is already 10x better than any yoast, rankmath etc. i skip expensive ahrefs, semrush, and just rebuild their services myself, using API, which is 100x cheaper. except this time it FEEDS my system, and i don't need to lay a finger on it. nobody cares about these little one off apps that won't exist in a year. they're either failing to see the future, or they're hoping for an early exit before they know the dominos start falling. and they don't get it. their 'app' is just a little tiny module in something that thinks bigger. people will want PRIVATE systems. all speaking to each other. not 1200 integrations and 1200 invoices to send to, that don't even have a ******* brain. i'm not selling anything yet. but if you're interested in seeing how i think about automation, then stay a while and listen. the tool i'm building will absolutely help you too. but i'll be honest. i'm actually quite scared to release it, solely down to how powerful it is. not many people do it like i do, and i'm finally on here to tell the world. the only winners will be the ones prepared for cannabilism. ready for war. they call it war rooms, yet they sit around eating donuts provided by their VC's. real builders sit in the dark, in empty rooms, grinding. if you're a cannabilistic, sick sadistic, son of *****, 666, with an idea. then drop a you know what.

  Most developers think Rust 🦀became popular because of ownership and borrowing. That's only half the story. Companies aren't adopting Rust because they enjoy fighting the borrow checker. They're adopting it because they're tired of C++-level performance coming with C++-level disasters. Look at where Rust is running today: • Linux kernel components • Windows security systems • Android services • Cloudflare edge infrastructure • AWS Firecracker microVMs • TiKV and Materialize • Discord and Dropbox backend systems • Solana and Polkadot Notice what these systems have in common. They're expensive to get wrong. A memory bug in a toy project is annoying. A memory bug in an operating system, cloud platform, database, or blockchain can cost millions of dollars, create security vulnerabilities, or bring down critical infrastructure. That's why Rust keeps showing up in the same places: • Systems software • Networking • Databases • Cloud infrastructure • Developer tools • Blockchains Not because it's trendy. Because the cost of unsafe software keeps rising. For years, engineers accepted the tradeoff: Performance → use C++ Safety → sacrifice performance Rust challenged that assumption. The result? A growing number of teams no longer see memory safety as a nice-to-have. They see it as a requirement. The ecosystem is still maturing. But Rust isn't fighting for relevance anymore. It's becoming one of the default choices for software where performance, reliability, and security are non-negotiable.

  @0xajka @Dropbox Have you tried doing the whole uninstall, reinstall? I had to do that one time with Dropbox. It was horrible. Now I have even a worse problem - but it’s not exactly Dropbox’s fault.

  @zoink You sit down and open your laptop. It's time to put some design files in Dropbox for coworkers. And ****, you need to finish your hotspot prototype. Your browser is still open on this weird design tool you got access to. Google Docs for design? Cool, but it will never work.

  Day 4 building Verytis in public. I've been pushing hard to find first beta testers. Reddit 1,200+ views, real conversations, zero installs. X engagement, validation, zero installs. Direct DMs sent, read, zero responses. Everyone describes the problem in their own words. Nobody takes the step to test. So today I changed approach. I just submitted to Hacker News the community that broke Dropbox open in 2007. If the problem is real and the solution makes sense, this is where I'll find out. Watching the thread now.

  Here's the stack I keep finding when I talk to tax firms: → Intake forms in JotForm or Google Forms → Signatures in DocuSign or PandaDoc → Reminders in Mailchimp, email, text messages → Document tracking in a Google Sheet, excel, crm → Client files scattered across email, Google Drive, dropbox, local hard drive Five tools, five logins, five places for something to fall through. None of them talk to each other, so the accountant becomes the integration. manually copying status from one to the next. It's not that any single tool is bad. It's that the seams between them are where the time goes. The fix isn't a sixth tool. It's removing four of them. How many tools are in your tax-season stack right now?
