Hey @cryptomator, do you plan to continue the work on your iOS app? It seems like the last commit is from mid-2018... I so much like the explicitness and simplicity of your app (e.g. that you don't try to manage my vault's passwords), it'd be a pity if you abandoned it :/ — PolitiTweet.org

@dinodaizovi I guess one could use this (and a project like Hypermerge mentioned in another response) to build a "Google Docs" for Markdown (web)app. But I worry, that the reason ppl use Markdown is primary b/c one can use their editor of choice. — PolitiTweet.org

Joanna Rutkowska @rootkovska

@dinodaizovi This seems usable only for rigidly-defined data structures, certainly not for something like a "piece of text" produced in an editor. Correct? — PolitiTweet.org

Joanna Rutkowska @rootkovska

I understand that automatic solving of potential conflicts would be hard, but perhaps such a semaphore-like conflict prevention might be a solid (while easy?) step to replace Google Docs domination in collaborative document editing? (Especially now, when so many ppl use Markdown) — PolitiTweet.org

Joanna Rutkowska @rootkovska

So that if several ppl work on shared (say Markdown) documents, which they keep on some shared cloud storage (say Tresorit/Cryptomator/Boxcryptor) they would - at the very least - be guaranteed (by UI of each convention-following editor) not to overwrite their own work. — PolitiTweet.org

Joanna Rutkowska @rootkovska

Are there any efforts to standardize sync conventions for open data formats? E.g. like vim's .swp files, only standardized and honored by more editors? E.g. any Markdown editor, while opening https://t.co/LucG4DvQr1 would check for https://t.co/LucG4DvQr1.swp & act accordingly? — PolitiTweet.org

@CrispinCowan0 @thegrugq Yup. Except learning-wise, I think you can get the same value by just looking at the con’s agenda on their website. Actual benefits of going to con: 1. Meeting humans, 2. Growing ego (if speaker), 3. Sight-seeing & having fan Away From Family™️ — PolitiTweet.org

A younger me would comment with some harsh irony, such as "Do you also need a blonde? Or a fat one?", but I guess I can also see the positive aspects of such efforts... Wonder what my female colleagues think? — PolitiTweet.org

Joanna Rutkowska @rootkovska

@dinodaizovi @sweis I think we all vaguely recognize different levels of “our data”: 1. Intenationally authored (essays, emails, drawings, code), 2. Less intentional (chats, social media noise), 3. Unconsciously created data (mouse clicks, metadata), 4. Data about us (Street cams recordings). — PolitiTweet.org

@halvarflake Yet... isn’t it how the world operates in reality, after all? Perhaps we can pretend it’s not and keep being frustrated all the time. Or admit it, became cynics, while still wondering what could be done to promote a bunch of values we believe in? — PolitiTweet.org

@dinodaizovi @sweis They can always do the caching, and perhaps the write-backs could be meaningfully optimized, especially if the user doesn’t between different client apps/services often? — PolitiTweet.org

@sweis Anyhow, how do we get to the point where apps/services are mostly "stateless" (user data-wise)? Ideally, I'd like to have my FB or Fitbit data to be kept in a specific file/directory hosted on, say, my (encrypted) Dropbox-like file hosting service? — PolitiTweet.org

Joanna Rutkowska @rootkovska

@sweis I agree. It seems like a chicken and egg problem though for many apps/services, no? — PolitiTweet.org

@Tresorit Instead I'd like to be able to click on a Tresor and e.g. additionally password-protect it with some PSK secret (which I'd then distribute among the devices I'd like to have access). — PolitiTweet.org

Joanna Rutkowska @rootkovska

@Tresorit The obvious drawbacks of this solutions: 1. PRICY (one needs multiple subscriptions) 2. Clumsy (one needs also multiple email accounts) 3. Limited scalability because of #1 and #2 above. — PolitiTweet.org
