Show HN: I redesigned my self-hosted data manager's UI (4k stars, v2

Hello HN,I posted an early version of this back in 2021 (it did well here — got a lot of feedback). Since then 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 ViteBackend is still PHP/Symfony based — it s a bit behind with 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.
