This is what I want. I've been wanting to build something like this for a long time. Something where I own my data. I can back it up and if my laptop gets stolen, I just import my data on a new machine and we're good to go.
The challenges that I see:
- Making it easy for any user to get up and running.
- De-authenticating old devices.
- Making it available from any mobile device.
- rocky1138 10y agoI bought a VPS from CloudAtCost for a one-time fee of $35. Set it up with nginx and GNU Social and pretty much haven't looked back since. My instance is https://kwat.chat https://kwat.chat. Ideally, the end solution would be dead simple. Download the Windows app, run it, put your credit card in if you need a URL registered, and it does everything, including daily backups to a folder on your disk.
