Show HN: Mementō – File browser for local and cloud storage
ionspin.comHey HN,
we're a small bootstrapped team working on building mementō, a better file browser that let's you manage and find your files wherever they are, in cloud or locally on your devices. We're still in beta so some features are missing or are clunky to use, but we would love to get some feedback.
Security and privacy:
- All access tokens for your remote storages are stored locally on your devices and never uploaded to our servers.
- If any data is shared between devices, it's end-to-end encrypted (we're using kotlin wrapped libsodium[1] for cryptography needs).
- We currently don't collect any analytics from the app, and in the future if we decide to collect it we will be using a privacy respecting tool like plausible.
- You can see the website privacy policy and access the analytics that we collect. [2]
Techincal details:
- We're using kotlin multiplatform for both server and client side.
- We are using passwordless approach where your device generates a keypair and uses that for authentication and authorization.

drop the macrōn
New version, dropped macron, added macaron :) . https://www.ionspin.com/images/illustrations/ImprovedMemento...
> drop the macron
Sorry, I don't quite follow what you are referring to.
IMHO people prefer tools to have plain and unadorned names, especially when in the case of a tool to manage content, which is likely to be used many times a day. Boring is the new sexy!
I can understand that viewpoint, I presume a lot of people share it. You are one of the first people unrelated to our small team to give us feedback, so it's very appreciated!
> Boring is the new sexy!
I'm going to use what you said in addition to macarons in an attempt to persuade our designer to let go of macron in mementō :)
Will need a lot of macarons to consider this.
Best, your Designer
P.s. thanks for the feedback @gjvc !

Quoting Justin Timberlake in The Social Network:
"Drop the 'The'. Just Facebook. It's cleaner."
Ahh, thanks for clarification, I wasn't aware that it was called macron, and was trying to figure out if the original comment had something to do with politics and Emmanuel Macron.
On the more serious note, we were debating this as we noticed it was preventing Play Store from showing it in search results if you just typed memento.
Unfortunately after removing it from the Android app store name, it doesn't appear in the search results at all.
