    I ended up having a bit of time (and remembering blob-no-thoughts), I would second what u/ProletarianDictator said. Celeste (which can be found on FlatHub and is fully free) seems to do exactly what you’re looking for, checking for updates to files in the cloud or on your machine constantly and pushing/pulling as needed.

    I will say that the method is… rough right now. Assuming you’re working with a modern system you should be fine, but if you’re on laptop you might not want it running 24/7. Rather than waiting for changes to occur and then sending the data around, it seems like it’s constantly checking to make sure the local/remote files are staying in sync.

    It’s all open source though and works very smoothly, so I’d definitely give it a try!

    Edit: I also want to note that I specifically checked that the files are really located on my machine - I can confirm they are present in both locations and after severing the link between directories, the files persisted in a usable state on both ends. The drive integration as part of GNOME does not do this and I confirmed that.




  • Not a mobile dev, but have utilized Flutter quite a bit at work for web development. You can have a shared codebase between mobile and web, just changing a few options when compiling to create different versions. No need for different UI/UX code if you don’t mind having a web version which would really be best suited for a touch based platform.

    To keep things simple, I’d suggest using a Provider approach rather than something like BLoC - we used BLoC for a while at the office and it ended up being a headache.
