localhosting is a minimalistic form of selfhosting, and it has the potential to open up selfhosting to a broader audience.

Hi everybody, I wrote this piece and it might seem a little half-baked, but I’ll never get it going if I don’t throw it out there.

Let me know what you think, thanks and selfhosting ftw.

    There are a few apps that I think fit this use case really well.

    Languagetool is a spelling and grammer checker that has a server client model. Libreoffice now has built in languagetool integration, where it can acess a server of your choosing. I make it access the server I run locally, since archlinux packages languagetool.

    Another is stirling-pdf. This is a really good pdf manipulation program that people like, that comes as a server with a web interface.

      Thanks, I’ll check languagetool. stirling pdf already has a desktop client, although I don’t know if it offers the same functionality (but I would expect it).
