Easy set up + WhatsApp messages + wakes up regularly to make it feel more alive + larger memory (local fs) => non-dev fascination
I think the issue you have is one of perspective.
Reminds me of the Dropbox launch on HN where the top comment was something like:
> Yes but why not just rsync?

Commenting on this comment is so out of date. Dropbox is an anti-user pile of shit, and rsync is way better.
finally in 2026 the why not rsync comment would even make to paul graham more sense than the dropbox pitch
Exactly. And I kind of believe that anyone citing that comment in 2026 has either been asleep, or does it more to take part on the HN cool in-group than for the substance of it.
Why not rsync rahrah remember guys? You know the one right guys rahrah
Thank you!
