Just use Smarttube

Guys, your comments made my day :D

Hey, I didn’t expect this to attract that much attention 😅

It was just meant to be a small appreciation post, and it kind of took on a life of its own.

Hope I didn’t put you in an uncomfortable spot. My ADHD sometimes gets the better of my enthusiasm and I get a bit carried away.

As always, thanks a lot for the great work. I’m still happy to help however I can 👍

Jeez, can’t people just read the full post? 😅

Thanks for the

summary

🙂 Just to clarify, I’m not the developer. I’m just sharing the project I’ve been following for a couple of years. If you have suggestions like adding screenshots, the most useful way to help the project would be to open an issue or contribute.

Fair point about screenshots.

Just to clarify though: I’m not the developer, I’m just someone who has been following the project for a while and wanted to give it a bit of visibility here because I think it’s promising.

Since it’s still a young project, the README is understandably a bit rough around the edges. My post was mainly meant as a heads-up for people interested in self-hosted calendar tools, not as a finished product showcase.

That said, constructive suggestions like adding screenshots are definitely useful, opening an issue, like @inari@pifed.zip did, or contributing to the README would probably help the project more than my post ever could 🙂

Colonialism

Fair point, stability and long term maintenance absolutely matter.

I was mainly highlighting performance because that is often the main friction people, including me, report with Nextcloud for simple setups.

OpenCloud is not a random new project either, it comes out of the ownCloud ecosystem, so there is some history and structure behind it.

If you have specific alternatives you consider stronger in terms of governance or long term stability, I would be interested to hear them. It would help broaden the list of solid open source alternatives.

Obviously, everyone will recommend Nextcloud. And yes, it works. But it is heavy and can feel slow.

I then moved to OwnCloud, the original project behind Nextcloud, which I found significantly faster. After that, I switched to OpenCloud, which is closely related to OwnCloud. It is less intuitive to set up, but it is extremely lightweight and very fast. That is the one I recommend.

Depending on your use case, there are plenty of other options as well, such as Seafile, Filerun, Filestash, Copyparty, and others.

May I ask what desktop apps you’ve tried so far ? Do you have a favorite one ?

I’ll follow up on our discussion on github here : https://github.com/Opisek/luna/discussions/8 :)

May I ask, what features do you personally find absolutely indispensable to add before you may consider using Luna as your primary calendar app? I.e., what is still missing that other alternatives do offer?

I’ll need to set up a new instance and run some tests as soon as possible. I’ll make sure to provide a detailed update afterward :)

Hello there,

We used to communicate on GitHub some time ago. ;)

I haven’t checked back on Luna recently due to its early development stage and ongoing improvements. I understand you’re quite busy, so I was waiting for any official announcements from your side.

How is the development progressing?

In the meantime, I’ve been using Fluid Calendar, but I find it less satisfying, and the development experience isn’t as polished as with Luna. I’m a heavy calendar user and truly hope to be able to rely on Luna for daily use in the future.

I also know that many in the self-hosting community are looking forward to a reliable solution.

That’s fair, you’re absolutely right. I probably like it enough that I never had the courage to go through all 2,453 pages of the XDA thread :) Running it through Exodus showed a clean result, so I likely trusted it a bit too quickly. It still feels miles better to me than most proprietary apps on the Play Store, but clearly less easy to trust than the open source apps mentioned above.

Wait. Nobody mentioned the extraordinary MiXplorer ?!?!

I don’t know why it is not more popular, it just does EVERYTHING.

Don’t forget to donate to the dev if you use and like it :)

All of this seems like a huge waste of time and energy.

So sorry for your loss. All family members send their most heartfelt condolences.

I swore to myself I wouldn’t buy a switch 2 for this reason. Then I saw a huge discount for the switch 2 + Mario kart world. So I bought it as I have no willpower. Now I feel stupid.
