Do you plan an open source version for self-hosting?

Please. Another vote for this. This would seriously become my tool of choice, but I would become so dependent on it, as an extension of my working style, that I wouldn't want to invest unless I knew I could know that it wouldn't go away and that I could also hack changes into the code. Would definitely be willing to pay for the Open Source Version. I've also had ideas very similar to this, but am much more interested in having it than developing it.

This looks awesome, well done!

What are your plans for the future? Is this just a hobby project, or is it something you plan on monetizing or open sourcing? The reason I ask is, I've seen a lot of projects like this fizzle out, which makes me weary of investing any time into using it.

That being said, I'm excited to see your future developments and refinements on this project!

Plan is simple - to keep going, keep improving, making it better. Vision and pipeline is full of awesome features. And maybe some day Ill manage to monetize :)

Good luck :) By the way, on the map and calendar view, you have "can be seen hear" instead of "here".

This is a brilliant application. I wish I could trust it to hold my brain dump, but this seems to be registered and hosted in the United States, which is no longer a secure place to store my data. I'm unable to determine how this is to be monetized, or if at all, so would it be possible to free the source of this application, so that it can be hosted in a trusted location, such as Seychelles?

I'm working on something that's very similar. It's early in development, and lacks many features. But if you private host it, it's already very usable.

I have a similar project, it's licensed under the GNU license. You can host it wherever you want to.

It's early in its development stage, and I would love all and any kinds of feedback.

When I was brainstorming this idea about self hosting or federation kinda came to mind but i was not sure about interest in that. Actually at the moment As its Node and MongoDB there would be not problem to self host, but I need to think about that :)

Please please allow it. There are a ton of features I'd love to add to a fork of this.
