What a surprise this guy is having trouble with marketing
I respect that
I wonder what the overlap is between people interested in self hosting computer services and people who are interested enough in fashion to want to catalog their clothing in an app. I’m in bubble A and not bubble B, but it feels like cataloging stuff you put in your fridge so you can make recipes instead of just looking in the fridge.
I’m not concerned about it personally, but you are putting a lot of trust in them as a 3rd party service provider. It’s up to your specific risk profile if that’s acceptable risk or not.
The alternative would probably be self hosting a vpn yourself with dyndns to handle ip address resolution. I’m biased (I have a professional networking background) but I don’t think it’s that much harder to setup either. But then I’m also a hypocrite and don’t self host anything anymore.
There’s also a valid argument to be made that doing it yourself is riskier because novices make mistakes. I don’t think this is too big of a concern personally - it’s not like you’re rolling your own cryptography.
Just as much as Tailscale is self hosting. Tailscale is probably more concerning from a security point of view.
