What do you love and hate about Nextcloud? Planning to create an alternative
Hey fellow self-hosters!
I'm a web developer with 20 years of experience, and I've noticed that Nextcloud is often the gateway drug into self-hosting for many people. While it's a great piece of software, I believe there's room for improvement.
I'm planning to create a new alternative to Nextcloud from scratch, using modern technologies and focusing on user experience. Before I start, I'd love to hear from the community:
What features of Nextcloud do you use the most?
What are your main pain points with Nextcloud?
Which features could you live without?
What performance issues have you encountered?
What would you like to see in a modern alternative?
My goal is to create something that maintains the core functionality people love while addressing common complaints and improving overall performance.
Please share your experiences - both positive and negative. Your feedback will help shape this project into something truly useful for the self-hosting community.
Thanks in advance!
