    I don't understand the Github repo, it shows some sort of drafted/vibe-coded frontend, but the actual program isn't open-source?

    Nice, but please stop with the words "forever" when it's about costs, ie: "free forever". It harms your message.

    Your "About" links seem not to work. In my case I was interested in where data is hosted, and the only information I see (from your HN post) is that you are from Paris. Does this mean EU hosting (which is good)?

      Yes, sorry — I’ve focused more on the actual logic of the dashboard rather than the landing page, which still lacks polish. Regarding the data, all your files are stored on Backblaze B2 servers (EU-central), with their data centers located in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I hope I’ve answered your question correctly.

    Your post here says ML-KEM768 but the website says Kyber512.

    Also, this SRP implementation seems a bit... sus.

      Thanks for pointing that out! Could you elaborate on what specifically looks off about the SRP implementation? I tried to follow RFC 5054 with some minor adjustments for the frontend (using hash-wasm and fixed-length encoding to match the server), but I’d really appreciate feedback if something looks wrong or insecure.

        Side-channels. Also, N and G matter a lot to security; not making those hard-coded and transparent is sus. You can't just use a normal DH group.

        I would recommend OPAQUE instead.

    "Open Source" is a pretty clear case of lying by omission.

    You open sourced the frontend. Without a clear license.

    That's not an "open-source cloud drive"

      Thanks for the feedback — to clarify, only the frontend is open-sourced at the moment, sorry for any confusion. I’ve also just added an MIT License to make that explicit. The backend isn’t public yet, but we may open parts of it later.
