What commenters say

• The search functionality on the website needs improvement to provide more accurate and relevant results.
• The inclusion of screenshots is not particularly useful if they are just screenshots of the project's homepage.
• The website's performance is impacted by high traffic, and solutions such as Cloudflare or optimizing search functionality may be necessary.
• Some users prefer existing lists of self-hosted software, such as the one on GitHub, over the new website.
• The website should provide more information about the community and adoption of each software to help users make informed decisions.
• There is a need for a term to distinguish between self-hosting services and self-hosting software.
• Cloudflare is a controversial solution due to concerns about data privacy and centralization.
• The website should consider adding features to help non-technical users set up and maintain self-hosted software.
