      There’s a difference between KISS and just plain useless. These apps are like beginner code for people in high school.

        Yeah let’s instead install a massive bloated shit project that the original developers left years ago and the maintainers don’t know heads from tails of the codebase because it’s too massive to maintain, with enough dependencies to make even a small child think he’s independent by comparison.

        All so that we can, uh, synchronize a markdown text file across 3 computers.

        These projects exist so that we don’t all have to re-invent the wheel every single time we need something simple. They have a purpose, even if they’re not pushing the envelope. I’ve developed a bunch of software to do extremely simple things for myself because all the existing options are massive and bloated and do a million more things than I need.

        I’m sure your projects look impressive on your resumé, though.
