I asked @m5x5 on Mastodon what was exciting and got this detailed response (published via Hyperdraft + remoteStorage). Thought to highlight one aspect of it here:
connecting technologies brings their users together, now I might be able to convince developers to use it because we could make Google Drive, and GitHub login work, hopefully sometime iCloud as well.
Google Drive and iCloud should definitely be in there. The sign in should already be possible with better-auth’s built-in adapters, which means it’s just a matter of mapping a handful of methods like get/put/list/remove/meta… I try to balance between framing Bind as ‘what it is’ versus ‘what it could/should be’, but definitely lean towards this kind of thing. If you want to contribute iCloud or Google support for example, let’s talk about it so we can plan together.
This also highlights some important tradeoffs: the rs.js + widget integrations with Dropbox/Google enable sync without intermediary but requires individual app/developer participation, and client-side/unhosted support can be hostile or with issues; moving integrations to a server solves some of that and allows any remoteStorage app to “work with Dropbox” without extra work for the developer – everything syncing via the predictable/open remoteStorage API means a more consistent app experience not complicated by platform specifics.
