I know nothing about mobile development or flutter. I'm wondering how this app is built and how difficult it would be to separate out the backend and run it on a server machine, with the client connecting to this server over the internet. I.e. making this a self-hosted app the way projects like Jellyfin are. Thanks for making this app! Looking really good.

At a high level, it should not take much time.

We're currently using local hive db for data storage, you just need to switch from local to firebase/supabase db for CRUD operations.
