Hi Milan,<p>Congratulations, the project looks slick.<p>I had a couple of questions after looking at the site. I&#x27;m a bit stuck with how it works. How does it work? It runs locally? Where does it create and store the &quot;db&quot;? Could I configure it use an external HD? Could it work on a remote datastore on a server? I see that Linux version is coming soon - it currently just for Windows?<p>How about the column types. The todo list &quot;type&quot; - is that a column type that you can manipulate and view using the Skyalt application or would it expect a JSON list?<p>Many thanks and good luck with this!

Hi, author here!<p>A few years back, I tried to find a better way how to organize my data. I was using mostly files &amp; folders. My requirements were simple: Cheap(I will use it for decades). Scale(I have a few terabytes and counting). Open-source(It must work, If a company has gone). Private(Only I can see my data). I&#x27;ve made a list of ~20 products in the space. Most of them were SaaS, some were expensive or didn&#x27;t provide scale what I needed. Out of luck, I&#x27;ve built one.<p>There are many use-cases for SkyAlt. You can write notes, organize your files, set reminders, store recipes, build CRM and more. The most solutions on the market have great UI, but don&#x27;t care about privacy. 100% of SkyAlt code is on Github(under Bussiness Source License), It&#x27;s unlimited and self-hosted. No lock-in. No spyware. No backdoors. No Ads. Also fast.<p>This is just beginning. There are plenty of things on roadmap. Linux version is coming soon(follow my twitter).<p>Try it, see If there is real value for you and feel free to ask questions or send feedback, thanks!<p>-Milan
