This Week in Self-Hosted

Happy Friday, self-hosters! It was another busy week with a ton of great content, which can be found below. In lieu of the usual recap, below are some particularly interesting threads posted to Reddit's r/selfhosted this week that I thought might be worth sharing for those who may have missed them.

• What's your favorite self-hosted service?
• Clean, minimal, and aesthetically pleasing projects
• Ever been turned off on an app because of the developer's behavior?
• What are some tools you'd love to see self-hosted, but currently lack decent open-source or self-hostable alternatives?

Happy selfh.st/ing!
