Hi thanks for the reply!
Nothing's for sale, did not mean it to come across that way! The idea is to make it open source so other devs can just take it, run it, and build on it, and hopefully improve it for everyone here.
You'd host it yourself, so the only cost is hosting, and that's free on plenty of the free tiers out there.
Totally agree on ease of use. If it's annoying to set up, nobody's going to bother. What usually puts you off using something like this?
