- Syncing with Smartling needs two commands - phreepio upload and phreepio download - which means the tool needs to do some operations twice. Leads to longer than necessary CI build times, could be more effiencent
- Uploading overwrites files. This is problematic for a tool that needs to be shared between users and branches. Also problematic because Smartling now deletes untranslated strings if a file is overwritten, even if the string has been approved.
- caching implementation has edge cases
- dependency on php makes it hard to use in other projects
- A direct CLI interface to https://docs.smartling.com/display/docs/Files+API
- Project level config (like phreepio)
- globbing
- a
synccommand that uploads, downloads, deletes old files and makes you coffee - Understands git branches and can rewrite filenames to be prefixed with the git branch or user name
- Cache by hashing the source file
- No dependencies - a compiled binary
- Parallel / async / nonblocking requests
