Getting close to the "why Dropbox when you can rsync" mistake (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224)

@vicapow replied to keep the Dropbox parallel alive



Yeah I realized the parallel while I was writing my comment! I guess what I'm thinking is that a much better experience is available and there is no in-principle reason why overleaf and prism have to be so much worse, especially in the age of vibe-coding. Prism feels like the result of two days of Claude Code, when they should have invested at least five days.
