Show HN: Truck.app – an rsync client for Mac

[iseyler]

This has been posted a few times in the past month and a half. What's new in the latest version? Also, how does this compare to Transmit?

Yikes, 20 times in a year. That's excessive. The FAQ says that a small number of reposts is ok, but 20 is not small.

That's even more true for Show HN: "New features and upgrades ("Foo 1.3.1 is out") generally aren't substantive enough to be Show HNs."

Slow and steady with the addition of features over the last few months (http://bonhardcomputing.com/category/news/) and how does it compare to Transmit!? Transmit is an FTP app; Truck uses rsync-over-SSH.

This mentions try for free many times but doesn’t mention pricing anywhere. Why don’t you have clear pricing information on the site that’s easily accessible?

[bonhardcomp]

It’s 12 USD. I will add this more plainly to the website.

Curious why you choose Python? Is core logic implemented in Python? Was it hard to setup process for building and packaging app ? Any plans to release in Mac App Store? Ty.

[bonhardcomp]

I find Python to be one of the least worst languages. It took some difficult weeks to figure out how to build and package, although, to that end, PyQtDeploy came along at just the right time. It's already in the Mac App Store.

[bonhardcomp]

And sorry yes, the whole thing is implemented in Python.

Any advantage over using rsync in a terminal?

[bonhardcomp]

Obviously several. It’s quicker to learn. It’s easier to use. A non technical person can use it. Etc etc.
