  • Not selfhosted - tried a lots of solutions there but each of them fell short at one point. But I’m paying for Readwise Reader for a while and it’s the swiss knife for anything you listed up there. Plus, you can enable (optional) AI summaries, including for videos.

    I never had time or patience for video essays that can give once sentence idea in a minimum 8 minute video (minimum for monetization), so I just throw them at Reader, have them summarized and I’m off to go in 30 seconds.

  • This.

    I dabbled too long around having it’s UI look prettier, but gave up after spending precious months. Now I can’t see a way to have it look like I want it to, and -with respect- that’s never the intention of devs to have it’s UI very customizable.

    BUT having your own UI is pretty easy if you know basic JS and HTML; that’s intentional yet kinda hidden behind all the clutter of HA. So if CSS themes won’t do it for you, you can try your chance with that.


  • Put Adguard in second spot since it does some non-basic stuff with networking.

    Do you use any *arr? Those are easy enough. Or Jellyfin maybe? My top recommendation would be Portainer, which offers a handsome interface for Docker management. That will help you out of the sea.

    Docker doesn’t really offer any domain-related functionality at all. You can host an app for that as well, but I found YH is just easier.


  • I’ve done that before.

    Docker is pretty easy to use, don’t get intimidated. Start with a simpler service that you’ve used before so you can understand which string is tied to where.

    What’s great with Yunohost is it’s domain controls. It’s very easy to set up a free domain, or use your own domain with it. So that’s the main reason I’m keeping Yunohost around.

    One thing if you think to use them in conjunction that YH has a firewall and occupies some port that could got conflicts with Docker containers.



  • Node-RED requires enough technical knowledge that it becomes not easier, but harder than writing JS code when things go medium size. N8N is superior in UX.

    Also although I greatly appreciate everyone’s efforts, I don’t want to rely on community plugins that require maintenance and may or may not abandoned after it’s developer loses interest/move on with their life. TBH NPM is brimming with those.
