The Solid Project [0] (AFAIK which is led by Tim Berners-Lee) is made to tackle this exact problem.
It is about defining a standard/protocol to store personal data in a 'pod' and give minimal/granual access of my pod to web apps. Apps are separated to pods, and it allows the decoupling of data & functionality. You can switch(upgrade) from text message to instant messengers without losing any chat history for example.
It also has an advantage that it prevents lock-in, since one can move their data around trivially.
Looks like the OP would greatly benefit from this.

- smacktoward 7y agoHas anyone built an actual, used-in-production app on top of Solid yet?
- choward 7y agoHere are some examples: https://solidproject.org/use-solid/apps https://solidproject.org/use-solid/apps The problem though is the same with all self-hosting: maintaining a server. It looks like you're just on your own if you want to use a "solid" app.
