Semi related to this I think a good way to avoid back doors in open source software is to have as few dependencies as possible. So I appreciate that this is a thing.
Maybe it avoids backdoors but it also avoids the maturity and security of using shared implementations for common tasks in favour of half-assed implementations in your own code.
Just because someone else wrote it, doesn’t mean it’s a good implementation, or worth bringing its pile or dependencies into your project.
True, but the opposite is true too, just because you or one of your team members wrote it that doesn’t mean it is a good implementation. Especially considering your team can not have domain experts on everything. There is reason the rule is “never roll your own crypto” and not “crypto is security relevant, always roll your own”.
Only if this does not mean that all dependencies are bundled.
Tarallo is more minimalistic, but I think Focalboard offers a better user experience
I see that Focalboard stopped reviewing or merging pull requests since last September, though.
Damn, I never even noticed that. I will continue to self-host it as long as possible, but it’s really sad that the project is dead.
