Dumbware.io - Stupid Simple Software
We make sophisticated problems stupid simple. Our software is like a michelin star restaurant serving chicken nuggets - sophisticatedly Simple.
What is 'end-to-end encrypted' about dumbdrop?
I ran a quick test by running
docker run -p 3000:3000 -c /private/tmp/dumbdrop:/app/uploads dumbwareio/dumbdrop:latest
Opened localhost:3000 and uploaded a file.
A copy of that file is now sitting, unencrypted in /tmp/dumbdrop. Searched the documentation for the work encrypt and found nothing.
Really love the KISS concept.
There's a difference between KISS and just plain useless. These apps are like beginner code for people in high school.
I don't even a little bit agree. You're welcome to your opinion, but being an asshole just for the sake of it is a bad look.
Yeah let's instead install a massive bloated shit project that the original developers left years ago and the maintainers don't know heads from tails of the codebase because it's too massive to maintain, with enough dependencies to make even a small child think he's independent by comparison.
All so that we can, uh, synchronize a markdown text file across 3 computers.
These projects exist so that we don't all have to re-invent the wheel every single time we need something simple. They have a purpose, even if they're not pushing the envelope. I've developed a bunch of software to do extremely simple things for myself because all the existing options are massive and bloated and do a million more things than I need.
I'm sure your projects look impressive on your resumé, though.
I'm not going to make all of these apps myself.
I'm working on big boy apps.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were spit out of Claude.
I like the idea of simple apps, but does their website have to have that silly dvd bouncing thing obstructing text? Especially since it starts playing sound if you interact with it wrong.
Something seriously ironic about pushing stupidly simple appels while having ridiculous bloated crap like that on the webpage. I immediately closed it out before getting a chance to read anything. On mobile that stupid bouncer takes up like a quarter of the width of my screen and why the hell is it the most foreground object???
Their site works fine without allowing javascript, that way it turns into quite a simple thing too!
Thank you, I was so confused as to what the other comments were talking about. I have js turned off by default.
This is hilarious, I love it. I know a lot of us take for granted that we can whip something like these up on the fly but there’s plenty of people who could use a nice little resource like this!
Reminds me of the suckless project, but for web stuff.
Except every app depends on Node.js
Wow that is dumb.
I could really use some of these. There’s a video showing what they look like for anyone interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUxcMQ4MKK4&pp=ygULRHVtYndhcmUuaW8%3D
Thanks, I really love these
I love the idea, the apps look useful and I am stoked to check them out. Can anyone contribute?
Love this, bookmarked
