However,....... It feels to me, that this has become quite a challenge going beyond of what I'm capable to do in my free time, unfortunatelly.

Did overestimate my skills and what can I do in my own free time?

Did I underestimate the scope and effort needed to get it done?

Or, maybe, both?

Either way,... it's hard to get it done, to get it completed... to reach the point, where I am sattisfied with features and code/software quality.

Later on, I have decided to add a GUI and to also bring it to Android.

So, rewrote it to Kotlin and use Jetpack Compose for the GUI.

#kotlin #jetpackcompose #composemultiplatform #archivekeep

The idea was born years ago, when I had a few partially overlapping sets of photos scattered across multiple drives.

I wanted to consolidate them, and incrementally replicate to have consistent replicas of my data.

And, I've created a CLI tool written in Go, and it fulfilled my initial needs.

#archivekeep

I've created https://archivekeep.org/ - an open-source archivist tool scratching my own itch.

The main purpose is archivation of personal files with easy incremental replication.

Focused highly on no-vendor-lock-in approach, and allows to useown storages (SSDs, HDDs,...) and services of my choice (BackBlaze B2/S3, and planned Google Drive,...).
