Us, selfhosters - sure.

Average person who value convenience over privacy/cost - no. They’ll continue to pay and be in prisoned by the cloud.

Well, how would you even know they’re aren’t pronouns?

So, I used Homebox for a few days now. I like the simplicity of it and I like the direction they’re going. However, there are quite a few bugs and data loss issues, it’s not ready for production yet. The thing is, these issues should be so easy to fix (it’s a simple CRUD app) that it makes me doubt the dev skills and possibility of other issues I haven’t discovered yet.

• The purchase date just increments or decrements by one day after editing an item
• When editing an item the notes/description fields show the data from the previously edited item, causing you to overwrite data

These two issues alone made me go back to my spreadsheet for now (good thing I kept a backup). I simply don’t trust the app to keep my data intact.

Yeah, it’s great to know we’ll die off!
