Is there an open source and self hosting cloud that apps like this can build on. I know Own Cloud exists but is it app-friendly. This requires a mysql db - yuck.


It does not require mysql db. sqlite works fine (at least for smaller systems).

They recommend mysql (especially for bigger systems), but not a requirement.

HN doesn't like jokes. It's dry.

Some of my highest-voted comments have been pure humor. A few examples, with parent comments included for context:

Even this silly one-liner got 23 points:

My point in sharing these is to give some examples of kinds of humor that have gone over well here. Of course as they say, "Past performance is no guarantee of future results."
