Haven’t heard of Roundcube, but it looks cool.
I feel like Nextcloud is going to become Google one day, but I have nothing to back that up other than they just keep adding more and more capabilities
As long as they remain open source I see no problem with that. I use both in my server and they're both great products, with the plus that you don't have to deal with any of Google's shitty practices.
Adding a managed services option for NextCloud would be smart. Individual instances that don't share anything, managed by NextCloud and deployable on multiple cloud infrastructures.
Being open source mean nothing if no one else can continue development, other than that yeah pretty great
Being open source means exactly that, anyone can fork it and continue development if need be. I really don't understand what you're trying to say
Maybe he was talking about capacity to develop further or fix bugs. In theory a community can do that (and actually do in many instances) but sometimes development of a community fork tagnates due to the lack of resources.
Best example to disprove this theory is ... Nextcloud. Owncloud went ahead and developed a new version in go to scale more easily but next cloud is the defacto standard for most people that were using own cloud before the fork.
They can't because Googles empire is built on bait and switch tactics, and if the product is open source, nobody can bait and switch it.
Open source actually guarantees that all shitty behaviors from big tech doesn't work at all.
Yeah, NextCloud itself was forked from OwnCloud because its core contributors didn't like where OwnCloud was going. I imagine the same could happen to NextCloud the moment it's getting enshittified.
Having seen where Owncloud ended up here recently, the NC founders weren't wrong.
