  • There’s a bunch of technical debt passed off as features, too. Like, Nextcloud runs background tasks as a cron job which is something I’ve never seen with other hosted services. It’s probably a holdover from before containerised applications were ubiquitous but honestly it comes off as jank.

    Also, I wonder if there would be an argument for a Nextcloud fork that doubled down on PHP by utilising something like Laravel to put all the rendering on the server side. Right now it uses VueJS which is fine, but PHP is really best suited for server side rendering that you just can’t leverage when using a front end framework in JavaScript.
