    They’re using Cloudflare which is a bit weird for a “private” service.

      IMO if you’re starting with your project is understandable, they seem to have a shit ton of money put on it, thought, so that may make it a bit unforgivable, but things can change.

      Of all the commercial networks they could use, surely CloudFlare is less evil than e.g. Google

        Cloudflare isn’t less “evil” than Google by any means. Both are equally bad and should be avoided at all cost

          I would disagree. I understand the issues people have with Cloudflare and how their man-in-the-middle as a service business model compromises privacy and internet decentralization in general, but there’s just no comparison to Google, whose business model is to build personalized advertising profiles for all of their users.

            Some may make more money than others, but if they spy on you it means that they spy on you and eventually sell your data. You’re the product. And as someone already said in this thread, you cannot self-host. This appears to be neither decentralized nor private.

    If I were the CIA and I wanted to create a honeypot, it would look exactly like this.

        Yes, which is why I don’t trust most of them ;)

        Granted, even the likes of uberspace.de/en need you to trust their builds of Free software.

    the software looks really good for an open source project, and would probably be very useful for collaborating on documents.

    they store your encrypted data on ipfs, so in theory it’s decentralized and there’s no reliance on any one party. except in ipfs you still need a host to keep your file alive while the rest of the network doesn’t care about it, which would be this company, hence why there’s a storage limit. i don’t see any options to self-host or switch host, though technically the software is open source so you can just change the default host in the code. there might have been an easier option that i missed, in fact i really hope there is
