Me: install it, doesn't work, read the docs, screw with all the missing things, doesn't work, read the forms, install something else I missed, doesn't work, find more forums, find the right answer, patch it up, get it working, figure out that the application is slow, missing critical features, and really just doesn't do what I needed to do.
All-in-all a weekend well spent
It’s like I’m still in c/selfhosted
Or it does work, and then I never actually end up using it again.
And then months later I'll have to do something similar and I've forgotten I even installed something that can do that, so I install another related thing.
This has been my experience, or sort of does what I want it to do, but I have to rethink what I need it to do instead of something really simple. Like a "new type of shared file system" that replaces NFS/Windows sharing. So instead of files in a standard file system one can manage with a file browser, it has "indexed" your files in such a way that the actual files are renamed into data chunks, and one "finds" files by their non-intuitive search engine that can't do even basic search engine tricks like "AND/OR" searches, wildcards, and the results are hit and miss. "But it's faster and more elegant!" So how do you restore from backup when the system fails? "When the system does whatnow?"
Yeah, no thanks. I can recover files from a file system much easier than some proprietary encoded bullshit fronted with a bad search engine over a proprietary and buggy index.
I asked the other week if anyone made a system that left files alone and just indexed them and gave you a place to store meta without moving them. Options do seem to exist, but they need LOTS of extra work
