    What do you all use this for? It seems popular but I’ve never found a use-case for it

            It was a great demo! Even with a lot of humor added to the video 😁.

            Only a shame it’s written in python but ow well. He couldn’t know.

                I think there’s always been a bit of snobbery about python. From me included. Looks like its working well here though.

                  yeah, I don’t say copyparty is bad. On the contrary.

                  I just think Python should be limited to some simple scripts and that is it. I like compiled languages much more… Like Golang or C++ or Rust.

                I just don’t like Python for actual applications, its slowish, easy to run into run-time issues, etc.

                I think Python is fine for some small programs or scripts… But for servers and real applications I would even consider either Go, C++ or Rust (hack even C#). Its not just me I think, but just in general.

                Note: I have nothing against Copyparty, in fact I’m willing to give it a try. And its also not a personal attack.

                  I see, thanks for sharing! Personally run a few selfhosted projects written in pyhton such as Linkding, and for whatever reason these turn out to be some of my favourite apps 😅

      I guess I will try to use it for my music collection. It seems a much better option than Nextcloud, with the built-in music player etc. 🎶
