It looks interesting as an app, but in context of self-hosting there are couple of speed bumps:
Oof yeah if you can't use their app store client with a selfhosted instance then that's a major barrier. You'd have to use xcode to build and sideload it, so yeah effectively killing ios. I think that'll come up in the self hosting discussion as that's a pretty major omission. I assume that will be easy enough to remedy in the near future
To be fair, the onboarding experience in the app is impressively good. It's extremely straightforward with no unnecessary buttons or steps. So I kind of see why they might be hesitant to add complexity by supporting self-hosted backend as an option.
