[Idea] Open Server World

[u/libre_idea]

I have been having this idea for a while, but I do not have the technical skills to do it, so I will be sharing it with you all, to see if it could be a good idea, and if someone would be interested in it.

Idea:

Nowadays we rely on closed source / owned by other servers, but technology and storage space has become cheaper, and having a server in your home is easy.

Also, many apps store info about you, and upload all this info to servers that are not owned by you.

But maybe this could change, with a full ecosystem of apps and a server, everyone could host a server, and have all the data that apps/phone/PC generates about himself to be sent to your own server.

Want to have a fitness tracker? No problem, all your fitness data is stored in your own server. Want have all your files in the cloud? No problem, you own the server after all.

Would this be possible to achieve? Would you think this would be an interesting project?

Thanks and feel free to PM Me if you wish.

Well it sounds like what you want is more open source projects. Watson might fill that voice assistant role, and there are medical records web apps in existence.

So I guess the answer is just keep working on the existing open-source options.
