Softr vs. self-hosted no-code options in a homelab setup?

[Robert Robinson]

I'm running HexOS in early access on a small home server in Hartford and have been using it mostly for file storage and a couple of containers. I want to put together a simple internal web app for tracking shared household stuff, and I've been comparing Softr against some of the self-hosted no-code or low-code options that could run as an app on the same box. The appeal of hosting it myself is keeping data local and not adding another subscription, but I'm unsure how much maintenance a self-hosted builder really needs compared to a hosted service, and whether it plays nicely with the rest of a HexOS setup. I haven't committed to either direction yet. For anyone running an app like this alongside HexOS, what has actually worked, and what would you warn a beginner about before going the self-hosted route?
