Android to NAS Sync Over SMB Lacks Reliable Troubleshooting Tools

Self-hosters attempting to sync Android devices with NAS systems via SMB encounter cryptic errors and no visibility into why syncs fail. Existing tools like FolderSync handle many protocols but provide poor error messages that make debugging impossible. There is clear demand for a focused, debuggable SMB sync tool with human-readable status reporting.

Xcode Remote Deployment Blocked Over VPN Due to Missing mDNS Support

iOS developers working remotely cannot deploy to physical devices through Tailscale or other VPNs because Xcode requires mDNS discovery, which these tools do not support. This forces developers to be on the same physical network as their Mac, preventing mobile development from coffee shops, dog parks, or co-working spaces. No reliable workaround exists without compromising the build setup.
