Wow! Simply amazing! Great find, Marcus

Wow…. How can we make this work for Cloudron.. this is exactly what I need

[marcusquinn]

@randyjc No need, as I understand. This is locally self-hosted with P2P sharing via IPFS. Just download the apps, create your profile, and away you go.

So this is a desktop and mobile app only, with local storage, and an encrypted (1GB free) backend.

So this storage backend node is possibly the only self-hostable bit, like Joplin server. Their devs say the Any-Sync protocol (IPFS based) will be published mid-July, which will allow for self-hosting an own node.

I was in the early alpha test stage, great concept but at that point it was a bit clunky to use and the UI was a lot more barebone.

Seems like they did a lot of improvements. Time to have a look at it again!

Trying to find my way around currently, once you get it how it works - well at least for now - i am pretty stunned, really love it so far
