This hasn’t been asked in a while, and I really loved reading the last discussion so I’m hoping to kick it off again and see what has changed!
What I’d like to know is:
- What specific products do you wish you could host on your own infrastructure, but the product does not offer such a deployment method
- Do you or would you use the product without being able to self-host? I.E. In its current state
- Do you think your employer, if any, holds the same opinions?
A web-based mail client (not server!) with a backend optimized for search queries. I get hundreds of mails per day and often I have to check whether something was discussed in some thread, in the last couple of years, or more. Thunderbird explodes, Outlook seems better, but it forces me to run Windows on my desktop and laptop. GMail is actually great, but it would be immoral in too many different ways to flush all the emails I receive into Google. Colleagues reported Apple Mail is good, but I have no direct experience.
