Not OP- I think there’s been some cool solutions popping up around hosting personal apps. On the front page this week was Capsule (https://withcapsule.app/). My personal solution is Exhibit (https://github.com/momja/Exhibit) which also has the goal of being a self-hostable artifact store.
In Cloudflare Quick TunnelsNot trying to plug myself, but I’ve been working on a similar project for this exact reason. It doesn’t use special file types. Just HTML and localStorage proxies to sync devices.
It’s self-hostable too. I’ve got a bunch of super niche todo lists and personal apps running on my home server with it.

In Show HN: Capsule – Single-file web apps that save their data into SQLiteVery cool work. I've been seeking solutions for running an agent in the browser for building artifacts on my project, which is a web artifact tool library called Exhibit. I'm starring this for later.
