Unfortunately, PHP is still the easiest thing for most people to setup and use, so that's what we went with for a self-hosted option. We are strongly considering a node.js version that would allow a lot more users. Is that something you might be interested in?
- mgkimsal 15y agoShouldn't be 'unfortunate' - PHP is a perfectly fine for this sort of thing. You can address the 'ultrascalable/node/nginx/caching/i've-got-2-million-users-on-one-server-running-on-my-ipod' type of user demands after you're profitable with this first version. The 'self-hosting' thing shouldn't even be just about saving money - there's a strong case to be made for security/privacy by self-hosting this sort of software internally.
