I've started finding ways to reduce my online footprint and bring some SaaS products I pay for in-house with open source alternatives. There are tradeoffs doing this, namely support and feature development doesn't move as quickly as for-profit products and services. -There are a few instances where I still need to pay for a tool that has `x` feature, and it will compliment my self-hosted alternative instead of replacing it. One of these tools that cannot be replace something I already pay for, however, is Nextcloud. When I initially set it up and copied a bunch of data over to it, I tried to use the iOS apps and learned a valuable lesson: some open-source software has a design/UX problem. I ran into some deal-breaking issues setting up Calendars and Contacts (mostly because Apple deviates from the vCard spec quite a bit), and the web interface for Nextcloud is a bit kludgy. I will remain using [Sync.com]({% link r/sync_com.md %}) as my cloud data provider of choice which is fine because it is E2E-encrypted and Canadian-hosted, so I feel relatively safe with my data stored on their servers instead of mine, but your mileage may vary. +There are a few instances where I still need to pay for a tool that has `x` feature, and it will compliment my self-hosted alternative instead of replacing it.
