Does self-host have to be computer-based? I would self-host a whiteboard with some dividers on it and get some cute magnets. Have something on the wall that the kiddos can look at when they walk by and be proud of and also to get them off the damn tablet for once! ( I donโt have kids)
I guess it doesn't have to be computer-based ๐. But I think the problem I'm looking to solve is that a computer based one you can prevent them stealing from others, or from adding their own stickers from other places and claiming they are for the chart.
I guess an actual sticker chart with some distinctive stickers would solve that issue. But once you've had a taste you want self hosted services to solve all of life's problems ๐
My kids also don't really use the tablets (they aren't generally available to them). We have two old ones that never get used.
Having a computer-based one that's the source of truth (and perhaps accessible online) does make sense, although I suspect this is too niche to exist already.
I know these are famous last words, but this doesn't sound too difficult to knock up yourself, assuming you know ~~kung-fu~~ coding.
I was considering knocking something together. I'm not super skilled but I've done a bit in PHP/Javascript which I think would do the job. I didn't want to go making something if it already existed, though.
Now with the responses I've been talked into doing it on paper ๐
Yup, and with @notthebees' idea of taking photos as a backup you've got what you need.
