About section of the project (top-right of the page for me on desktop), not the readme file. It’s literally just “An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop” + a link to localsend.org.

It’s in the Github “about” section.

I’ve been using 6/9/1969 since I was 11 using the same rationale and haven’t found a compelling reason to change.

I don’t think so. Bandcamp, specifically, only really keeps tabs on your purchases (ostensibly something you’re okay with, since that’s the point), your shipping/billing information (saving this is optional), your name (no obligation to be real), and your email (mine’s an alias).

Ultimately, these sorts of things are all trade-offs we decide for ourselves, but by creating an account, you have an additional layer of protection against losing purchased music, as well as opening the ability to stream your purchases (I don’t use this feature regularly, but found it useful once during a power outage when the nas hosting my music was down for a couple days).

If it were an ad, I’d expect the question in the subject line and the product name earlier in the post. As posted, the subject makes it about proton mail (useful if you’re targeting people leaving PM, but wouldn’t it make more sense to target people fed up with gmail?) and the question didn’t come until the end (well past were most people probably stopped reading the post).

I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, just that the OP’s post wouldn’t be a good ad. Your comment, however, is short and still manages to knock a competitor to proton as being an known while pointing out that you’re happy with it. Makes for a much better ad.

Your comment feels more like an advert than the OP’s post.

It depends on whether you’re the vibe coder or the guy that just fired the vibe coder hired by your predecessor.
