Despite the fact that I like privacy-friendly FOSS apps, I'm pretty old-school, have never been a very demanding android user, and have never self-hosted anything.

Now, there's an app worth trying out that requires self-hosting, and I'm not very familiar with the term, let alone how it works. Again, it's unknown whether I'd find that app useful enough to replace the one I'm currently using, and as far as I understand you need to pay to be able to self host.

I'd simply like to try the app, so paying for 5 minutes seems a little costly - and I was wondering if there's any other way? Or is it something that has to be paid for, with no exceptions? :) Thank you.
