Isn't privacy a concern? How do consumers ensure that data is not going to captured in a future update without it being open source or having third party security audits?

That's a concern with all apps ever so idk what answer you're expecting

Disagreed. It's not concerned with all apps, because most commercial applications have legal entities explaining how they use collected data. In this particular case, this is something called 'Refine', and it's not a legal entity, therefore, questioning its data privacy approach is fully legitimate.

Except the open-source ones, or sandboxed[1] ones without any auto-update functionality (not sure if this app has any).

[1] Loosely; I’d say not referencing any networking entrypoints or dlsym() also counts, as working around that would be very non-deniably malicious.

Perhaps this type of software could be either open-source with full code accessibility, or proprietary but from a highly trustworthy entity responsible for privacy both legally and reputationally. Currently, both approaches are missing.

I also strongly believe that it’s a primary question when we talk about keyboard input.

Too little, too late

Why do you have to request for a demo, if this is an open source product. Just let me see the demo!

Replit claims to support open source and this is how they react to a previous intern's project. This reflects poorly on Amjad and his ability as a CEO. I guess I dodged a bullet as this is another company I will stay away from.

Its sad to hear Bell Labs gave an award, without any understanding of what the paper claims. We need more academic rigor in science.

How is this different from Foam(https://github.com/foambubble/foam)

I was racking my brain trying to figure out why this was giving me déjà vu. I figured it had been posted before then renamed but seems like a totally separate project doing effectively the same thing?

Which user asked for a password manager!? When will these companies do real market research

> Which user asked for a password manager!?

Likely not many, but that's likely at least partly due to a lack of exposure: The market is still severely under-saturated - Everyone should have one, but not that many non-techies do. Thus if you're in a position to make someone try your password manager that may be a serious advantage.

I blame the stock market and its unrealistic expectations of infinite growth.

Seems like anything can get funding these days. I love how they say this is better than running zoom or Google meet on an iPad. Give users a mediocre android tablet with similar software and charge 25 dollars per user per month!? The founders clearly haven't thought about the asynchronous nature of remote work and even companies want an always connected environment, I don't know why they would want this product!

Thanks for the feedback. We actually talked to a bunch of teams that tried the Zoom on an iPad route and it usually failed because it was really hard to get the team in the same room. Sidekick does a really good job at maximizing the chances you're not alone -- I talk about some of the features in the original post.

Totally agree it's not for everyone, especially those users that are really happy with asynchronous work.

For 5 users, it seems like it would be a waste -- easy enough to hand-hold everyone through setting up a tablet. For 5000 people, I could see paying someone else to manage the technology and providing a 'one-click' solution.
