I was in a dilemma when I was exploring different productivity apps for my personal purpose. I wanted a privacy first secured application that would have cross device sync. But most of the privacy focused applications are offline first.
Challenge
So here was the primary challenge. I have to build an application that will have multi device sync while having minimal or no cost for it. As I move forward building it I decided to make it open source. So I have to use such technologies and methods which can be easily replicated by others.
Approach
Vercel has a generous free tier, so the frontend deployment is sorted. And just to not have any more deployment related worries the frontend framework is decided to be NextJS for its compatibility with Vercel.
