It's not at all like self hosting it, sounds like it's just running on some servers located somewhere, and is completely unknown to the user.

I'm also surprised it's that difficult to convert to self hosting, it makes me think that detaspace has a very convoluted system for running things.

WebCrate uses services provided by Deta (like Deta Base for the database, Deta Auth for authentication) internally and thus can't be made available to run on any server without a rewrite of the backend.

Those services made it possible for me to build WebCrate in a short time and took a lot of work off my shoulders.
