Self-hosting offers privacy and control, but setting up servers and managing infrastructure is daunting for non-technical users. Create a platform that simplifies self-hosting with pre-configured apps, one-click deployments, and managed updates. Individuals and small businesses would pay for ease of use and reduced reliance on third-party services. Start with a limited set of popular apps like file sharing and note-taking. The biggest risk is competing with established cloud providers who offer convenience at the cost of privacy.
