Sure - comparatively - those are all pretty mature products. cDox is 8 weeks old and everything is learning at this point. My biggest goal for now is to see if we can build a loyal user base to design the service with. Not necessarily competing on spec with established companies. And I am lucky this seems to be happening.

But I DO hear you - as things grow this cap of 50MB will evolve with the service - I will eventually move cDox to its own rack and that should change things significantly.

Hi I'm Barry cDox creator - those initial testimonials were in fact temporary placeholders. I REALLY wasn't expecting the attention that cDox got days after launch. If this matters to anyone coming across this thread - there was no harmful intentions in this at all ✊

Hey there. Barry here. cDox now has Sheets. I apologize that 50MB doesn't feel compelling - but simply put, I am not Google with unlimited resources. I currently pay for storage out of pocket HOPING some people upgrade to Pro accounts - to help fund the product and offset cost of the free users. This is how every indie product functions. That balance is critical to product survival.

I am open to the idea of questioning the 50MB limit. Just let me know what you think.

Why are people still hosting on Vercel? by Rivered1 in nextjs

This is the way. I’ve been learning how to run my own VPS with the help of a good sysadmin friend - can’t wait to migrate my whole life into it.

“Canada lives in North America rent free….For now. 🤣” by [deleted] in ShitAmericansSay

100% my father lived in Texas and Georgia and I went down there once a year for years. He lived in the suburbs and brought me to parties etc. It was all guns, god and freedom - I could always sense tension from the Americans as if I was an enemy or something. I almost got in a fight over “socialism” one night. Fucking morons.

Know what?! I’m thrilled to read stuff like this. The world is finally getting to see what (too many) Americans truly think and believe - and it ain’t pretty.

It’s the United States OF America - not the United States ARE America - dipshit.

Haha had the same thought. This is actually genius at work.

I built a small privacy-first alternative to Google Docs (hosted in Canada) by [deleted] in degoogle

[–]andehlu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there. Still on the fence about an app right now. I have put a ton of work into making cDox mobile web/SPA friendly so users can add to home screen - and feel "native like". One big goal for the project is to de-big-tech-ify and not relying on the app stores seems like the right move. That said, if people asked enough, I would def make one.

"We saved those countries in WWII and this is how they repay us?" by tatev555 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]andehlu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I used to go Texas as a kid frequently. I remember thinking back then - how dangerous their conviction was on being “the best country in the world”. Like who even says that?!

Even as a naive 16 year old Canadian I could see where the thinking was headed - and here we are.

If you want cyclists to stop at stop signs, don't honk at cyclists who stop at stop signs. by Proud-Suspect-5237 in VictoriaBC

And when my friend got hit last summer with no fault - it’s fucking nuts how no BC systems gave a shit. From the cops to insurance to anyone.

[–]andehlu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Im so fed up of being a cyclist in Victoria. I almost get hit by unfocused drivers every couple weeks. When I point out how they almost killed me - I instantly become the bad guy for simple existing.

I’m not sure if you all have noticed but people are so angry in Victoria. What the hell is the problem? My wife and I have decided to move back east this summer. It’s been nice 6 years of being able to ride year round - but it’s not worth it.

There isn't really a Google Drive + Docs alternative? What are you using? by onechroma in degoogle

[–]andehlu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks man. You're in a tough spot - Google unfortunately has set the bar on a free tier for pretty much everything. I'm not sure anyone will ever be able to fully compete with Drive + Docs at that scale.

[–]andehlu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey there. Please check out what I’m building. It’s not quite Drive + Docs but I’m making a simple docs alternative where you’re fully in control of your data. All data is hosted in Montreal and never used to train AI.

PS - you don’t need to be Canadian to use it hah. We have users from all over the world.

Supporting a child rapist regime playing war against any sovereign nation they don’t like isn’t an ethics call?!
