Setting up a server just for this is clearly overkill, but if you already have a homeserver it would be great to be able to deploy the backend. Sadly there is no such thing currently
I totally agree. Running a server on a home machine that’s already running 24/7 is trivial. I don’t know why this guy is acting like it’s a big deal.
I’ve got a $100 mini-PC running multiple servers already. What’s one more?
Not necessarily. Most people in the US are locked into some kind of ridiculous contract that makes swapping/upgrading their phone a pain in the ass and a financial burden. To be fair, these same types of people probably lack the ability to run a home server so maybe my point is moot 😅
What is the cost of hosting a server like this? I’d imagine someone could cloud host it at a cost of $10/mo and sell the online service at $1-$2/mo, which would take very few users to turn a profit. If the code is FOSS, some people would be willing to pay for the service.

This is true for literally every selfhosted app

That doesn’t have anything to do with whether it’s open-source or not.
