Why Pendulum Sync was a bad idea

10Jul10

I’ve now stopped development of pendulum sync. I thought it was a great idea, but then I started using dropbox. Dropbox works a treat. it synchronises all of the files I want and I can also easily synchronise those files that aren’t intended necessarily to be synchronised. That was the space that pendulum sync was meant to exist, I’m happy to admit as a delighted drop box user that, pendulum sync was wrong and svn was correct. i did briefly consider using Pendulum sync as a helper app for drop box, it could allow you to hunt out those tricky little apps with “hidden” datasets on the Mac, but it’s not a money making venture that i’m willing to explore any further, so this is the last pendulum sync post. l’ll always maintain that it was a good idea, though one that would only be useful as an integrated part of Dropbox or similar. I won’t make a million dollars on the idea, so onto the next one.
