Git is no good for binaries. And SparkleShare is dead. The proper alternative is SyncThing https://syncthing.net/ I have it on my home and work laptops, a NAS and a VPS and it just works brilliantly.

Awww, dammit. Why did I never hear of this before? I just spent like 400 hours building something equivalent but far less finished.

Syncthing has almost 10,000 stars, so it's not like others hadn't discovered it yet. Is there a way for me to browse all the popular repos on Github so I can see what other amazing things I've been missing? There's [0], but that just shows me an utterly useless view of all the repos I've starred.

Thanks. Yeah, I guess that's not too bad (I'd overlooked it before because "Trending" is a section I avoid (and/or install extensions to hide) on other social sites). https://github.com/trending?l=go&since=monthly shows syncthing. I'll have to go explore a bunch of the other listings. :)

This looks just perfect. Trying it out.
