I'm in the early stages of bootstrapping a SaaS app that prioritizes security and privacy. For my business, this would be great: users are far more likely to trust an app if the app won't be storing any of the application data itself -- if they can choose their own data hosting provider.
Google Cloud Drive, Box, and others already allow this kind of model to an extent. Third-party apps can access and modify user data hosted there, although not through a standardized API.
I'm the founder of Etebase, cool to see it mentioned it here!
If anyone has any questions, please let me know (email in profile). We will also be giving a talk about Etebase at FOSDEM this year if anyone is interested: https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/etebase/
E2E encrypted firebase equivalent, with CalDAV frontend for E2E encrypted calendar from mobile & Thunderbird clients, with OSS clients, server and multiple language bindings? Seems too good to be true! Thanks for the pointer.
