What is a service you host you never knew you needed? (k.fe.derate.me)

I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you've been missing out.

For me it's not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it's great. I probably can't find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I've gotten. Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But that's not what it is intended for.

What is that service for you?

Isn't this a bit more steps than using Overseer?

It’s more work to set up, but a much easier experience if you have users who can’t remotely access Overseerr. You always have to account for the “mom factor” when hosting services; Will your mom be able to learn how to use it? My mom can use Discord, but good luck getting her to learn Tailscale to access my Overseerr remotely.

The benefit is, I dont need to open a webpage (less data usage or if you are in a slow internet area) or login to a service to add media
