Comment on Show HN: HomeSheet – easy-to-use home inventory softwareparent

This is why I would never trust a hosted web app to do something like this. I fully expect my house to last much longer than any such company. I’d want an app I run on my computer with data that I can export to something time lasting like CSV/PDF/etc.

Good luck accessing that data after a fire. Would be better to have the insurance company store it.

If you can select the save location for the database file, nothing says you cannot use a Dropbox folder or some other cloud file sharing service.

That’s what cloud backups are for…

if the web app allows csv download, i dont see the issue. set up an automation to download a local copy every week or whatever.

the download better be secure, but that's very doable
