It took me quite some time to install all the dependencies needed to get into Uranus, but once I was in, it was quite pleasant. Are you planning on spending any time making Uranus mobile friendly?

I guess I’m a child

No no, I am too. It just makes me think of that gag in Animaniacs.

I assume they're starting small but want to expand it out to web interfaces, syncing and maybe even a mobile app. Text files + git do have limitations when you're on a phone or other mobile device.

Thank you for your opinion! If you can use Uranus as a web service (without any operation like install), are you satisfied with it?

Thank you for your opinion! Um, indeed we can write text on our favorite editor. So I also need to distinguish Uranus from that.

And also I should think about making mobile friendly Uranus.

Thanks for your reply! So you mean you want more functional one, right?

I think the feedback was, this looks like a very simple (but possibly useful) app, it should not have such heavy dependencies.

What's heavy about any of that? I don't know what Tomcat is, but Docker is just a means of installing and running software in a VM(if host isn't Linux), Java is a perfectly fine language and runtime, and Postgres is a powerful and widely-used database. Any other self-hosted web app would require at least a language runtime and a database.

Contrast it to something like Rust or Go compiled as a single native binary, using sqlite for storage. It's definitely heavy.
