Looks like another GUI built upon restic: GitHub - plutonhq/pluton: A modern, self-hosted backup solution for secure, encrypted backups across local and cloud storage. · GitHub
Anyone use it?

- Repomix mentioned in gitignore
- .vscode not published (through gitignore)
- no co-authored-by-ai commits
- 59$/y for “Full Linux Server Backups” (doesn’t include cloud storage or anything) for a GUI on top of a FOSS project that can easily do this for free? what?
I don’t trust this project. My gut feeling is that it’s an amateur (because of Repomix) trying to hide that it’s a fully vibe-coded project. But i’m on my phone and can’t test it right now, nor have I checked the actual code, so I could be totally wrong.

Let’s see if anyone else gets a chance to look into it.
@FunctionDJ That’s very reductive. I have been working on this for 13 months. Yes, some AI assistance was used to build the app, but it’s far from Vibecode.
Your assumption that hiding the repomix folder through gitignore is an amateur move is quite dumb, to be honest. Repomix files are quite large XML files; no developer in their right mind would want these XML files to be included in their repo. Gitignore files are not built to hide files…
You claiming the author is an amateur without even viewing the author’s GitHub profile is very telling. If you did, you would know that I am also the author of the popular SEO app SerpBear, which I have been developing for the past 4 years.
@towfiqi : How does it compare with Zerobyte (see Zerobyte: A modern web interface for Restic ) and Backrest (Backrest)? I’ve been planning to have Backrest as the default BackUpScale frontend, but I’m open to switching to another one.
Clarification on Repomix: I’m not concerned by Repomix being in the .gitignore specifically - i’m concerned by Repomix being used in the first place.
It’s a tool where you dump the entirety of a projects source code into the context window and I think it yields even lower quality output than your usual AI coding tools.
