I worked on getting [Omnivore](https://github.com/omnivore-app/omnivore) from cloud to self hosting.
I never appreciated the value of Self-hosting until then. I was so sick of finding new services to do essentially the same thing. I just wanted some stability.
Now I can continue using the thing I was already using, and have developed my own custom RSS Reader ontop of Omnivore.
I don't need to care about things breaking my flow. I can update the parsing logic if websites break, or I want to bypass some paywalls. It really changed my view on Self-hosting.
