Look at Grist. You maybe justly concerned for it being an open source project that is backed by one small company that sells hosted plans. The difference is that Grist is a core part of the French Government’s open source web applications L

On macOS i use Safari for PWAs. It is just fine. But I use Firefox as my primary browser. PWA support non-existent. They killed their basic PWA support many years ago. There are suggestions they will support it in the future. On Linux/

In the late 90s, I leased Cobalt RAQ servers from RackSpace. During this time, RackSpace had exceptional customer service. I could call support and be connected with a skilled Unix SysAdmin within minutes. Even though I was responsible for

I will give this a try. I am needing something to use at my coffee shop/bakery for my staff. Currently, we use Paprika and I am Svelte developer, so this maybe a perfect fit.
