Thanks. I think the concern about software provider shutting down is valid. Heck, I still remember being pissed when Google deprecated two products I used within a month (a few months back).

Self-hosting might be too complex to setup, but do you think single tenant offering helps? I don't know if it makes sense for individuals tho.

In addition to HTML & CSV, there is an option to export JSON, which supports more formats. In a way, it is an open format (.json) but I'll have to add relevant documentation. PDF support will also come at one point.

Self-hosting is key for us as well. Companies working with sensitive data really value "on-device" / "on-premises" architecture, which it looks like you're close to nailing.

Check out Bitwarden and Gitlab's self-hosting approaches, and congrats on the launch. I'm excited to try it.

And regarding self-hosting complexity, start with a "docker-compose up" example and iterate from there.
