I'm not necessarily against having servers but as pointed out, they are definitely not free. By running servers you're choosing to give your trust to the server administrators, there's no way around that.
That's not really an argument against doing it, but open source doesn't really factor in here.

I'm not trying to pick a fight - just have a What does it matter if it's open source unless everyone has access to the server? You have no guarantee what code a server is running. Have you thought about the positives of having a dedicated, Boostnote cloud storage network?įor the record, I also don't appreciate your overly condescending tone. If you always say that stuff isn't necessary, your product will never grow. It's not exactly like you're hosting images or files on Boostnote. Also, as you implied, Boostnote notes don't take up much space, keeping prices low. Any policies should reflect that.Īs the user base grows, so does exposure. Boostnotes intention is to make notetaking easier for developers, not to make money (as is that of Google). The same policy that dictates Search, Maps, Gmail - all of that. It's governed by the Google Privacy Policy. Basically, it's generic (not designed for Boostnote - everything you've listed) vs dedicated (designed for Boostnote, and most likely, open sourced).Īs with Google Keep. Not to mention that everything you've listed are exactly that (minus the self-hosting, but it's really unlikely that you're gonna have the whole user base pay for their own systems). All source-code is open source, contributions are welcome and issues are being opened daily. Not only that, but that article was originally published with the Boston Review if you had read the subtext.Īnother thing: Boostnote is, for the most part, community-led. In referencing to your article, GNU is independent from FSF. The single most important reason: It's not necessary. Such as your location every hour of the day.)Īnd my personal favorites, approved by FSF:īut that was just to respond to your questions. (Except ofcourse they make money by collecting data.

Who's gonna pay for that server? What if the user base multiplies by 100? Nothing in life is free.Ī lot of the current third-party options cost the more you store.Īctually there are more free space options than you would need in a lifetime to store notes. Having a dedicated and centralised networks means that (.) the Boostnote storage is free for notes.

It has a lovely Android app with location-aware reminders. They gave it some thought.Īnd with the privacy, I don't get your point?Īre you actually being serious right now? Maybe someone at Google can tell you to use Google Keep.
If they did, they'd be condemning pretty much every single storage platform. I'm also not aware of any official statements from the FSF saying that having dedicated/centralised storage is a no? Moving towards a centralized server is a tell. There are always similar words from a stranger prior to "the change". This project is overwhelmingly no where in the direction of becoming a Freemium product. Having a dedicated and centralised networks means that the free quota for whatever third-party option is free for your other files, while the Boostnote storage is free for said: Regardless, a lot of the current third-party options cost the more you store. Not only does using a dedicated and centralised storage system mean that the policies are designed for Boostnote users, but it also means that you won't have another service to deal with. I'm also not aware of any official statements from the FSF saying that having dedicated/centralised storage is a no? If they did, they'd be condemning pretty much every single storage platform.Īnd with the privacy, I don't get your point? When you host using a third-party network, you're exposed to the same risks that you would be if you used a dedicated network, if not more. There are nth applications out there that offer dedicated cloud storage that aren't using a Freemium or Premium business model. I'm afraid I've got to disagree with you, This project is overwhelmingly no where in the direction of becoming a Freemium product. On click-to-edit, first check if version on service changed.There are other solutions for figuring out files were updated.
