Well, who said robinhood wants to build a business around it? For what it's worth, I care about the topic, but I would never want to use a hosted service for something like that. So his decision to build an open source app is the only way to do it.

But as I am using my own Nextcloud and XMPP Server I would like to see a simpler setup/update procedure.

you might be right. the few comments i read by robinhood seemed to indicate a desire to make it the core of a SaaS business but maybe not.

that this was designed with self-hosting in mind is a nice nod to privacy though.
