So I'm guessing this will work mainly for customers that are running actual compute or K8S already?

The real challenge of a Cloud exit is undoing the years of gradually getting vendor locked-in. Not only do you use the services it provides, the software you might have written also uses the SDK's, is tightly coupled etc. I'm not even taking IAM into account, which is vertically integrated everywhere, in the equation.

And this isn't only on a technical level but also organizational. So i'm out of the cloud, my staff still doesn't know anything about managing dedicated servers and other solutions. I'm now fully dependent on a firm which main focus is doing migrations? How would that work?

What kind of business is your target audience here?

There is an old Dutch saying which goes: "Trust comes afoot and leaves on horseback". When you're in the compliance business you cannot fumble this ball, but you have.

Something tells me GPG would be great for this concept, but it's probably not as accessible as to get people to paste a JSON somewhere.

Looks great. I was a user of babybuddy[1] and one the pluses was that I could self-host and be in control + had an API. Now that last bit was a bit overkill.

It had one feature that's maybe essential and that I'm missing here, and that is being able to share the app and data with your partner so both are in control of monitoring, maybe I'm overlooking it but I can imagine that's hard to integrate with a PWA that does not use accounts.

One last thing: "no accounts", but filling in the email field is mandatory, i'd skip that.

Nice job!

How else would I connect to my BBS to play L.O.R.D. and check FidoNet.

The website does not show anything on how the product is used, which is kind of important for me as a potential customer. Especially if it's going to be effectively handling my copy/pasting of sensitive information.

Does it use some client, what do I need to install on my devices (if supported) and what permissions does it need etc? Instead I'm greeted by a login page.

It's not transparent enough for me how the product is used before signing up and that's a huge turn off.

"Somewhat biased" is a gross understatement here, holy crap.

If you're on iOS or MacOS I can highly recommend NetNewsWire (https://netnewswire.com/).
