​Self-hosted shouldn't say "Affine Cloud" about affine HOT 4 OPEN

I strongly agree with soudaburger, this is extremely confusing, to the point that after verification, I'm still not clear whether my data is being kept locally or on your cloud!!

For self-hosters I think this is an urgent issue. The only reason I'm trying Affine, apart from the very promising functionality, is because of the possibility to keep my data to myself.

But let me be very clear, if I have no clear guarantee that my data is kept on my server, I'm out!

I have been using Trilium Notes user for a while and notion user for work. I have been looking for an alternative to migrate trillium notes to some other shelf-hosting note-taking solution. My strict requirement is a simple self-hosting note-taking system with no connection to external sources unless I want it.

I stumbled on Affine and Appflowy, I was amazed that they provide notion and drawing tools in the same software, maybe a possible alternative I think. A few weeks ago, When I tried their shelf-hosted option, I was so confused am connected to online affine cloud or my deployed cloud. I looked into other discussions, and I see similar problem or limited by 10 GB etc. Immediately removed the docker deployment. I think I wont look back into it again till they fix this and confirm that none of the data or telemetry or connection goes back. Switched to appflowy

Same here. I was enticed with this product and the promise of self-hosting, but as soon as you looked closer red flags appeared: Unclear licensing, contradictory statements regarding the limits/freedom of self-hosting, hard coded third party dependencies etc etc. And the address in Singapore appears to be a go-to business center for when one needs to be registered in Singapore...
