Thank you so much Preslav. Needed some emotional boost so that was really appreciated!

This message is just what is needed when you put hours on coding something that just came out.

On self-hosting; That is exactly my reason why I want to open source it. One part of me wants to be able to live on this. But I also want to help so many as I can to have more privacy. Those who like self-hosting and feel better that way will also make me feel better :) A way to solve both of this is maybe some donation or sponsorship for those who self-hosting to sponsor me with some yearly, monthly or one-time donation. But that's something I will decide later when Kindmetrics is in full-version and bigger.

As all developers, I recognize what you mean. I am trying to solve a problem, and trying to do the right thing at the same time. That is probably every developer want to do. I also think open source give that feedback and boost you need when you are building something alone. You won't be alone anymore and that feels nice.

And lastly, I will be waiting and would lovely review your contribution to the code when it comes Preslav!
