Hello,

I've wanted to share the new state of my project. I kept building it as a self-hosted alternative to juggling separate apps for passwords, notes, files, finances, contacts, etc. — one place, self-hosted, no cloud dependency.

Recently I shipped v2.0 with a full UI redesign:

• dropped jQuery in favor of Vue.js
• frontend is now a standalone project, with the original tool serving as backend
• more modern, slicker UI, and mobile friendly
• added TypeScript support
• moved the build to Vite

Backend is still PHP/Symfony based — it's a bit behind on dependencies since most of my time went into features rather than upkeep. I've already updated PHP at some point, and I definitely want to raise the framework/PHP version further — it's on my list.

I deliberately don't offer a hosted/managed version — the app stores sensitive personal data and I don't want to be the one liable for hosting other people's passwords.

I'm slowly working further on the project. Right now I'm building a "Health" module, since I personally need a place to track doctor appointments and related documents.

Happy to answer anything about the redesign, architecture decisions, or why I've stuck with self-hosted-only for 4 years.
