A self-hosted approach to long-term file storage and control (github.com)

So, this whole thing kicked off because I hit a wall with local storage - it just doesn't grow with you forever, you know? Plus, putting all my eggs in the basket of other companies felt a bit risky with all the changing rules and government access stuff these days.

What I ended up with is pretty cool: a personal file vault where I'm in charge. It treats any outside storage like it can't be trusted, and all the encryption happens right on my computer. I can even use cloud storage like S3 if I need to, but I never lose control of my own data.

Honestly, it just kinda grew on its own; I never set out to build a product. I'm mainly sharing it here to see how other folks deal with these kinds of choices.

Nah, not really. I mostly use AI for the annoying stuff like GitHub workflows, install scripts, and boilerplate code, not the actual backend or frontend code.

Oh, and since I'm French, I also use it to clean up my notes into good English for the README (in response to Jokulhlaups). It's just a handy tool to speed things up, not some magic button that builds everything with one command. If you look at the commit history, you can see the project grew over time. Definitely didn't just pop out of a single prompt, haha.
