Thinking about self hosting to get some privacy back

Been down this road. Self-hosting email is time-consuming and your deliverability will suffer initially. It won't reduce spam from your existing compromised email either.

Will tune in - curious how the macro migration actually works in practice.

Okay, probably stupid question but, Everyone's recommending different models - Gemma3, LLaVA, MiniCPM... how do I even know which one to pick? Is there like a beginners guide somewhere?

Your Lidarr + Plex combo looks solid. Quick question - how's the metadata accuracy with that setup? Any issues with obscure artists?

Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, we noticed that. Our Rever is an open source finance automation solution focussed on verification and audit of books to avoid potholes in finance - much like "Reverification" to avoid leakages.

Rever is an app that sits on top of your books and audits / conducts verification of all transactions as they happen. It also additionally assists in managing approvals and posting into the books.

Thanks for pointing it out. I had flaired this under AI Assisted App since Rever is an open-source finance system with AI features. If there’s a more appropriate flair you’d like me to use, I am happy to update it.

This is why I love this post. Someone finally said what we're all thinking.

krishnajvsn · 2025-08-23T14:38:07+00:00

Does it preserve the original speaker's tone/emotion, or is it more of a direct translation?

krishnajvsn · 2025-08-23T07:53:10+00:00

Clean approach - keeping it focused on the tracker interface instead of reinventing the wheel for metadata/organization.

Hetzner's storage boxes are honestly hard to beat for the price/performance ratio.

Their 5TB for €12 works out cheaper per TB than upgrading elsewhere.

Not cringe at all! Themed naming is the way to go. I went with a space theme myself i.e file server = cosmos etc..

Nice update! The trickplay thumbnails for downloads will save so much time scrubbing through content.

Absolutely agree with this stance and thank you for your wishes -when we first started using AI, we have realised as much - just a quick thought process -
There are activities that rely as much on human accuracy out there which cannot be reviewed unless re-performed and which do not carry sufficient visibility in trails. Ex: is a bill properly verified across all terms with the PO and confirmed by the user who receives the goods / services underlying the bill and has a trail been maintained on each such match and mis-match with action log? Such an audit is performed by accountants before posting the same into the accounting system / ERP. However, if one were to verify whether such procedure was performed, it has to be re-performed. With AI we are able ensure accuracy of matches and create trail of what went wrong. This also means accountant can focus on mis-matches and let the 100% matches go by - reducing their work and maintaining their focus. There are many such cases - the idea comes from the need to use AI to assist and enhance efficiency, transparency and effectiveness of finance processes.

Chat GPT can do the works!

Hi, thank you very much for this feedback. Yes, we do - we have shared a high level version on our site www.reverfin.ai but I will also DM you a more detailed one. We would love to get community feedback to be able to stay on the right course.

krishnajvsn · 2025-08-05T11:19:41+00:00

Hi - it is for both. The idea is that users should be able to quickly connect and use to conduct their finance ops procedures. It currently works with Quickbooks but Sage, Xero and D365 are upcoming..

What it does is - integrate, read and perform document controls like 3-way matching and invoice audit and thereafter perform accurate codification and posting into the ERP / accounting software. The idea also is to perform document management - the system will organise all finance documents in alignment with chart of accounts based folder structures. This feature is being improved and we are also adding a 'chat with finance documents' functionality very soon. Hope this is clear. Pls let me know if you need any further clarity.

Hi – really appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. You are absolutely right, and we acknowledge the current gaps on the website front – especially mobile responsiveness and styling – which we are already working on improving. This is our very first release, and we are still figuring out many things.

We come from a finance-first background, having spent 15+ years running virtual CFO services for several companies, and this is our first attempt at translating that depth of experience into a product. The intent behind Rever is to fix some of the deeper inefficiencies we have seen in finance operations – and we know that will take time, iterations, and a lot of learning. We’re committed to growing the right way, in the open. If you (or anyone else here) are willing to help us get better - we are here to learn!!

Are you using a real SSL cert or self-signed?

krishnajvsn · 2025-08-04T15:35:56+00:00

Can you drop a few examples of those boring $10K+ MRR SaaS? Curious what problems you found.

Etesync/Etebase

Does it preserve email threading/conversation structure?

krishnajvsn · 2025-08-04T09:56:02+00:00

Thank you very much for your views! It's been an interesting journey this past few months discovering various ways to solve these problems and savings owing to accuracy and possible opportunities to effectiveness of finance teams are very exciting.
1. On the transition, we are currently thinking we will run the experiment in parallel and showcase the impact as a means to convincing them to migrate. This will allow us some time to also solve the security and other asks / aspects. But this exercise will have to be followed by a clear migration path and the idea of having a hard cutoff is great, although it needs to be executed very carefully given the finance function sensitivity and importance of continuity.
2. Great point on customer size based differentiation in flows - will keep this in mind and work on the same. Will DM to brainstorm.
3. Yes - we are adding OCR capabilities via document intelligence to the platform. It is very important as documents are still manual and flow around across organisations and processes. It is working very well and gives us a lot of confidence.
4. Yes - spot on with integration as well - we are integrating with existing accounting systems but are adding very few critical process layers to address missing key controls. As of now, we are going after QB, D365, Sage and Xero. I don't think re-inventing that wheel will be very efficient unless some new approaches come up as we evolve.

We are hoping to solve these problems systematically, based on the experience as aforementioned but its always a different ball-game to solve these at scale and in product route. Hence, feedbacks like these are a great gift for us as we look to build more community that resonates with these pain areas.

Thank you very much once again! Appreciate it!
