Re: remoteStorage server (JavaScriptSolidServer) + 4 vanilla JS apps (single HTML files)

Hi Michiel, indeed, I have had the same thought process. I've started 
work on a few unhosted apps myself that I simply did not ever have the 
time for. And have ideas for more.

I've been announcing them at https://community.remotestorage.io

Found a few rs.js bugs, and proposed a token exchange addition to the spec:
https://github.com/remotestorage/spec/issues/201

It's really nice to finally be able to build the apps I've wanted, but 
have up until now only been available as commercial products where you 
don't own your data.

Looking forward to seeing what you create!
