      Would you mind ELI5’ing the similarities? I’m seeing only high level concepts that sound the same.

    Here’s an alternative that runs on your browser: https://nicobrenner.github.io/lossy-git/demo.html

    PS: it’s just a fun play on memory/storage and AI. Hope you enjoy :)

      This was more interesting/amusing than the OP!

    Dumb javascript is preventing me from seeing the footer, by scrolling back up to some content it thinks I shiould see.

    Kudos. We did/built something internally to solve similar-ish problems https://www.shayon.dev/post/2026/283/versioned-filesystem-fo...

    Nice website, but that's about it

      > Nice website

      I disagree. Its full of AI slop. Too much animation (cute but distracting) I literally tried for 20 minutes and couldn't focus on reading. I just couldnt comprehend anything.

        I'm so glad someone else couldn't focus I thought I was losing my mind here.

    How is this any different than something like btrfs?

      The difference is this one (layerfs) was vibe coded™ and the other (btrfs) is battle tested in mission critical systems for years in the Linux kernel and used by many companies in the SNP 500.

      Do not be fooled by the "vibes" of the website design which many here are. If it is too good to be true, it most likely is.

        That's what I was concerned about. An unstable filesystem is worse than no filesystem at all; I'd really like to switch to bcachefs but it simply needs to have a few more years under its belt before I'll be comfortable with it (particularly for some of its best use cases, where it becomes responsible for backups).

        I would not trust btrfs with anything mission critical.

        And still crashes and corrupts filesystems all the time.

        (I have one server platform where just doing `insmod btrfs` immediately locks up the server, hard, without even any kernel panic or log message.)

          How recent is that code?
