4 weeks ago Hello :wave:
Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at and if possible solved. I'm Marcel and I created floccus and have been maintaining it ever since. I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one than I used to have. I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it. Until then, please be patient. Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can collaborate to make this software better. For everyone. Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands! One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum, to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.
I look forward to working with you on this issue Cheers :blue_heart:
Describe the feature you'd like to request
An option to encrypt datafile when syncing via Git. While Git repository access from the Internet is usually protected (for example, by password), the repository can be accessed by the Git provider, as a result of misconfiguration, or just hacked.
Some bookmarks/tabs can be security sensitive, for instance, contain usernames/passwords/tokens in URLs. Also, just the list of bookmarks/tabs hints at what websites are actually used.
Describe the solution you'd like
The encryption shall work similarly to Google Drive and WebDAV.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The main consideration in my case is that Git keeps multiple versions, so we have the backups as a side effect.
Google Drive keeps previous versions for 30 days (at least in my case).
Floccus+WebDav+LoFloccus+Cryptomator+Something seems fragile (too many possible points of failure). It also does not help with backup problems.
Nextcloud does not support all possible bookmark types.
