In the maker’s words, at launch

Hello HN community, We are thrilled to announce the launch of our one-click solution to backup your Firestore database. We built the first completely automated Firestore backups solution, simply because none existed right now. There are various half backed packages or tools that you can use to build one yourself.…

  SlikSafe – A decentralized, end-to-end encrypted alternative to Dropbox2021 · ▲284

  Hey folks, We are the team behind Slik. Over the past year, we have been hacking on SlikSafe [1] a Dropbox alternative where all your data is first encrypted on your own device and then stored on decentralized storage. Some features we're most excited about are - - multi-device data sync, - auto-backups via desktop apps, - search your docs by name or contents with end-to-end encryption, - easy sharing via email, QR-code or private-link, - Password-less login using MetaMask/Phantom We leverage storage providers IPFS and Storj for global redundancy, reliability, and immutability.

  Saf – simple, reliable, rsync-based, battle tested, rounded backup2023 · github.com · ▲89

  I had this backup code working reliably for years, using local file system, vps/dedicated server, or remote storage for backup, then I finally get time to wrap README, iron few missing switches and publish. Should be production ready and reliable, so it could be useful to others. Contributors are welcome.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Non.io, a Reddit-like platform Ive been working on for the last 4 years▲1,943

  Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
