I know you want to make money, but consider making a self-hosted version, you could even charge for it.

  From my experience (building a SaaS product for consumers which can be self installed) it's not worth the hassle and most people who claim they'd pay actually don't. It seems that the best way to get people to pay for something is to make it a requirement (to use the service or a set of features).

    Alright, but I'd just use some free software alternative on my server.

      That supports my statement. People will usually go free if given the option. What I'm building is free, it is Apache2 licensed. The fact is that the self install userbase just isn't that monetizable. So the cost of supporting them is a net negative. We do it but it is not our first, second or even third priority as a company.
