What is Seafile?

Seafile's server repo ships small hardening fixes across three branches at once.

The seafile-server repo tags fixes on the 14.0 and 13.0 lines and on SeaTable builds. The same commit is often tagged on several versions at once. Recent work is defensive: validating file-system object sizes, testing garbage collection under concurrent uploads, and checking errors on file copy. The one configuration change is support for a SEAFILE_DATA_DIR environment variable.

What is Skedda?

Skedda is pushing workplace booking data out of its own UI — into tables, insights and now an API.

Skedda's last quarter has been about making the data it already collects visible and usable. Occupancy Insights, the multi-venue Organization Hub and richer visit exports added reporting; a read-only API beta opened the data to outside tools. The newest release redesigns the Visits page so visitor status and custom check-in answers show up inline instead of only in exports.

Seafile vs Skedda: editorial side-by-side

S
Seafile
COLLAB
2.5

Seafile's server repo ships small hardening fixes across three branches at once.

◆ Current state

The seafile-server repo tags fixes on the 14.0 and 13.0 lines and on SeaTable builds. The same commit is often tagged on several versions at once. Recent work is defensive: validating file-system object sizes, testing garbage collection under concurrent uploads, and checking errors on file copy. The one configuration change is support for a SEAFILE_DATA_DIR environment variable.

◆ Where it's heading

The server core is in steady maintenance, with fixes backported across 13.0, 14.0 and SeaTable. The focus is data-integrity robustness rather than new capability.

◆ Prediction

Expect more 14.0.x patch tags with integrity and GC fixes; nothing in the entries points to new features.

6.3

Skedda is pushing workplace booking data out of its own UI — into tables, insights and now an API.

◆ Current state

Skedda's last quarter has been about making the data it already collects visible and usable. Occupancy Insights, the multi-venue Organization Hub and richer visit exports added reporting; a read-only API beta opened the data to outside tools. The newest release redesigns the Visits page so visitor status and custom check-in answers show up inline instead of only in exports.

◆ Where it's heading

Skedda is shifting from a booking front-end to a source of workplace attendance and visitor data. Each recent release removes an export step, either by surfacing the data in the app or by exposing it programmatically. Visitor management is getting steady attention alongside desk and room booking.

◆ Prediction

The API is likely to widen beyond read-only bookings, probably to occupancy or visitor data, since Skedda said more capabilities are planned. Expect more visitor-management work to follow the Visits redesign.
