    Yeah sorry about that! I contacted the Space team and they are working on fixing it! You should be signed up, but the confirmation emails are not going out. Maybe try again in a fe…

    Yeah it's an awesome concept! Cardi looks great too! Might be worth to see if you can port it to Space, would make it easier for non-tech people to use it!

    WebCrate uses services provided by Deta (like Deta Base for the database, Deta Auth for authentication) internally and thus can't be made available to run on any server without a r…

    Thanks for the feedback! I can now see why not everyone has the same understanding of "self-hosted", which is totally okay! I am not planning on providing a version of WebCrate whi…

    Thanks, didn't expect so much backlash about the term!

    You are right, for text that will be public it isn't too bad. Good tip with the Desktop app, but that doesn't seem like an ideal solution either. Keeping my fingers away from Gramm…

    Thanks, fixed! Between WebCrate instances? Thanks to Deta Space each instance has its own domain so it is reachable directly without a gateway or central server. The instance then …

    Not at moment no. You can only add links via the browser extensions and the dashboard. The extension supports an omnibox though so you can just type "wc" in your address bar, press…

    Good to know, thanks! I'm currently using Microsoft's Editor extension. Do you have any good alternatives?

    Whoops! Thanks so much for pointing them out! Thought I fixed all the typos, but some always get through! Grammarly might be a good solution, thanks :D

    WebCrate is free since I as a dev don't run any servers and the data/compute lives with the users. I don't have any operational costs essentially. Deta Space is just getting starte…

    I totally get your point! Instead of self-hosting, you could call it a personal cloud.

    Space (and WebCrate) are currently free! Even if they charge something for it in the future, the version of WebCrate you install today will always be free. On Deta Space updates ar…

    Not out of the box no. You could fork and modify it, but that would take a lot of work. Can't recommend Deta Space enough though, it is kind of like self-hosting it without managin…

    Funny how it means completely different things to different people. As a 18 year old I would never think of vinyl records when hearing "crates" :D

    Nope, not at this time. You can only store the URL itself in a "crate". Glad you like the name though!

    Hey fellow internet users! I always got frustrated with existing bookmarking tools as they were either too clunky to use or had way too many features I didn't need. Until I decided…
