Thanks :) I'll have a look and get back to you if I want to go this path!

Now a little more in-depth response. Thanks again for your feedback, I could relate to all points you mentioned.

- You are totally right. The "Try it for free" could very easily hint at cost down the line. I have changed it :) - Cool that you understand so many languages :) And thanks for your suggestions. Looking into it right now. Translations is one of those things.. doing it by hand (not me, but someone with good language knowledge) is very time-intensive, but yea, AI can be hit or miss for it. - I'm definitely thinking about starting with a leaner set of features. My only fear would be that people forget there is more to it. But that should be solvable via UI. - Definitely going to add more info on export! That's a shortcoming right now which I aim to fix this week. - Regarding philosophy, I'll think about it. I'm not great at marketing (and don't even want to look at it as "marketing"), so I'm always a little unsure what messages belong where. But good to hear, that a more detailed part on this could be good.

Hey gooba, danke danke danke! I'll have a go through all your points tomorrow, greatly appreciated! Especially since when you work on something for so long, you just can't see things with fresh eyes anymore. So it really is great to get feedback like yours. So thanks again!

Yea, that's what I gathered as well. So what do you think about checking against compromised passwords?

Thanks for your opinion. I appreciate it. I think that makes a lot of sense. I also like the idea of passwordless, I'll definitely have a look at that!

Oh, and I missed the middle part of your post. Fair question! I do think it is quite sustainable. For that to make sense you might have to know me better, but my perspective is I have a good paying job, I have money and especially time to spare and I want to make things better. So I'm honestly happy to spend money AND time on this to be sustainable. I have a very capable root server to run this on and I have money already reserved to get another one. I'm getting by just fine and I'm more than happy to spend some hundreds of euros a month to make the world a little easier/better for people. I'm also happy to spend my time for this.

I did think a lot about monetizing it, but really I feel like that would skew the whole idea of the app. I want this to be for the community. We struggle enough with enshittification anywhere. I'm in a privileged position where I can build and maintain this. And it's available for self-hosting, so anybody can do so as well.

Now, if we were to hit an insane amount of users, the question might have to be tackled again, but that's far away and I think with the infrastructure I have and can get with my allocated "solidary" budget, It'd really have to get to insane amounts to actually be an issue.

So I'd like to think it is indeed sustainable. I'm doing this to be sustainable. I want to build something people appreciate and use. I'm happy to spend lots on it!

Hey gooba! Thanks for wanting to try it out. And sorry, you ran into this issue.

It appears Laravels throttling function doesn't work well with my reverse proxy setup. I have disabled it for now. I have just tried it out and registering works again.

Again, sorry for this. This is my first publication attempt and I fear some issue will only show this way.. however, I'm here and happy to fix everything on the fly :)

Yes, I did read up a lot about password security the last few years. But still, I'm worried a very secure policy restricts people from registering at all, see case above. What would you say is a good compromise?

Another thought I have discussed a lot is, this app is not something critical. It's not online banking, it saves very little about you (as little as possible), etc. - so what does this say about the compromise? If an account was to be compromised, an attacker would only have access to the todos, music, notes of a user. Now, todos and notes could be very telling, but I'm unsure about how much of a responsiblity I have as an admin to save users from this? Do you know what I mean?

Wtf. Just wtf.

No worries, I love to hear about alternatives and other approaches. I'll definitely have a look, thanks!

Good point indeed! I've been feeling Claude Code has gotten worse for a while now, read many articles on it, overall probably due to cost saving. But if you set your things up to depend on it, that becomes a huge issue.

Exactly! I know, some of those companies sometimes refund you, but if your livelihood depends on it..? That's a crazy situation to be in as a mere developer.
