Rainbows, an experimental backend for SparkleShare

This is an attempt to create a backend designed specifically for SparkleShare's use case to balance out the disadvantages of using Git which is the current default in SparkleShare.

It takes inspiration and ideas from both Git and Syncany.

Benefits over Git:

  • Limiting local history to a period
  • Restoring/reverting to file revisions that are not in the local history anymore but are on the host
  • Client side encryption
  • Resumable transfers
    • Using any kind of storage with write access
    • Store empty folders
    • Follow symlinks
