Show HN: BewCloud is a simpler alternative to Nextcloud written in
TypeScript
For the last month or so I've been working on bewCloud, and today
I'm making its source code public and open! Right now, the
Dashboard (URLs + freeform notes), News (RSS/Atom/JSON feeds), and
Contacts (CardDav) are working. If you have any suggestions,
comments, or recommendations, I'd love to hear it. Thank you for
your attention and kindness. I really appreciate it!

| actions as soon as it worked perfectly for me and my wife
| (Linux and Android + macOS and iOS).

| That being said, here's the function to build a vCard:

| Deno is an anagram of node, not reversed :)
|
| But looks nice, will have a look at it!

| Well, it is reversed in a sense, in that it is "no, de"
| reversed, it's just not reversed character-by-character. I'd
| agree that's not generally how we used "reversed" for words,
| but it tracks more generally, you can reverse something without
| necessarily breaking it down into its smallest possible parts.
|
| For example, that "Pets a dog" reversed could be either "Dog a
| pets" or "God a step", obviously words are a more natural
| breakpoint though.
|
| To really try too hard, in Japanese it'd be something like node
| so it would be reversed character by character as it'd be split
| like that (not a Japanese speaker, so take with a lot of salt,
| I imagine it'd actually use another character to sound more
| like the English pronunciation of node).
