With a lot of open source projects being worked on largely out of passion rather than financial gain I feel like there must have been several times where a release caught people off guard and "came out of nowhere" with its impressive scale.

To give some examples of how this might happen maybe it was an initial release dropped to the public in a complete state that had been worked on for a while privately or a project that was dormant for an extended period of time and picked back up.

Can anyone here think of an example? It doesn't necessarily need to be something groundbreaking maybe it got people excited in a very specific niche.

If you do have an answer I'd appreciate it if you could elaborate on it.

Nextcloud has had some amazing updates recently. Adding Nextcloud Hub comes to mind.

Hub integrates the four key Nextcloud products Files, Talk, Groupware and Office into a single platform, optimizing the flow of collaboration. Eliminate the confusing hodgepodge of different SaaS tools and the compliance, security, cost and productivity issues that come with it and standardize on a single solution with Nextcloud Hub.

Cool!

Is it an app for android or just the webpage that integrates all the cloud features like notes, files, etc. Sorry for noob question.

Hub is their core set of groupware apps for Nextcloud. They’re all tightly integrated. It came out with Nextcloud 18.

Thanks. I started using next cloud recently and thought it was always like this. Highly recommend cause I can replace lot of google services like notes, files and also calendar/contact sync. So many things for free, it's awesome!
