Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited language support

   Primary language is JavaScript, which may not cater to developers primarily working with other languages such as Python or Go.

2. 02

   Complex setup for cross-device operations

   Setting up the tool across different devices requires manual configuration and synchronization steps that can be error-prone.

3. 03

   Poor documentation for advanced use cases

   The documentation focuses on basic usage but lacks detailed guides and examples for more complex scenarios, such as handling large files or specific edge cases.

4. 04

   Performance issues with very large files

   Moving large files can be slow due to the tool's current implementation, which may not utilize efficient file transfer protocols for large datasets.

What it does well

• Cross-device file movement
