This is supercool. One my constant problem with self-hosting is that I often need to modify just a couple of files here and there, but then I'm stuck with a forked repo or a dirty work copy.

I'm going to try to make a frontend UI for it.

Are you talking about personal or professional self-host? Why are you constantly patching software you self-host? Not enough configurability? Using software not made for self-host? Holding it wrong? I ask because it seems...strange that you have these issues so often.
