I’ve been looking through a bunch of the open-source alternatives to Notion and Trello lately and I’m noticing a weird paradox. Obviously, everyone wants privacy and local-first data ownership but the architectural complexity to actually achieve that is getting kinda ridiculous. Instead of just doing a simple docker-composeup with a lightweight database, a lot of new projects require you to configure complex sync servers, edge runtimes, or deal with heavy CRDT logic just to keep a laptop and a phone synced. It feels like you need a DevOps degree just to run a private note-taking app on a cheap VPS without losing your data. It kinda sucks because it forces this weird choice: either you give up your data to a proprietary cloud app that "just works," or you spend half your weekend playing systems administrator for a basic utility tool. Are there any devs here building open-source tools who are intentionally avoiding the heavy local-first hype just to keep the self-hosting side simple?…
