Neat! I'd like to give this a try with my family.

I noticed the MIT license, any plans to document how someone could self host this? Or would you be open to contributions from other people to do that?

Thank you!

Probably you just need to copy `.env.example` into `.env` and replace the required API keys. [1] The whole 'back-end' is an external dependency hosted elsewhere by InstantDB [2] While they claim that you can self-host it too, I haven't been bothered to self-host it myself. Other than that, I'm using MapTiler Cloud for the mapping service [3] since I find that while there are free ones, those can be quite limited when doing things like geocoding (querying keyword to coordinates).
