    This interview (Dutch) with the investor should, in my opinion, scare people away from it. It’s just a bunch of none-answers and uncertainty

    Q: Is that your plan with Office EU too? To sell it after a few years?

    A: Tja, I am not sure about that. I can’t see that far into the future, I don’t know.


    Q: So which apps don’t use Nextcloud?

    A: Once we’re live, I’ll show you.


    Q: Have you written any code around it yourselves?

    A: A great deal has been written around it. (This is literally the whole answer to that question)

    Q: Could you give an example of that? Will that be open source too?

    Q: Well, look, you know what it is? I don’t really feel comfortable talking about this. You approached me. I’m saying: I’m not actually ready for this yet, because we’re sorting out a few things.

      this looks a lot like that “European X alternative” named “W” which was vaporware. I wish journalist were more critical with the claims of these people.
