Thanks for sharing this! The idea seems very nice, but why should this be hosted on a third-party server? I want to keep my data for myself... the title is misleading, this is not a software but a service!

#83This looks like a great solution, congrats on the launch! I don't know if I would store that information in the cloud though. If you were to offer a self-hosted option I would be all over it.

#86I've only read the landing page, but I'm instantly very interested in this. I've recently been looking for a product or solution just like this as part of my emergency preparedness goals.

No offense, but products on HN are a dime-a-dozen and this is the kind of data that…
Thank you for your interest! Happy to address your questions: 1. HomeSheet is currently free so I can gauge user interest and receive user feedback (Like yours, which I appreciate so much). After the early access period, I'm considering an annual subscription, and likely a free tier. This all depends on the infrastructure costs, etc moving forward. 2. I'm committed to a PDF export option to generate visual reports of…
I'm scared to use it right now, put all my items in, and then the pricing is obscene later and I've wasted all my data entry...
