The gap .self is targeting is real — .local via mDNS is flaky across subnets, and RFC 8375's home.arpa never really caught on outside router firmware. One thing worth thinking through: browsers are increasingly blocking non-secure origins, so even with a clean TLD, you'd still need a local CA or something like Caddy's auto-HTTPS to make it usable day-to-day. @tmpod, has the cert story been scoped out yet? That's usually where self-hosting setups fall apart in practice. We've written a bit on this infra layer at https://cxgo.ai/l/jK7fEMQ — might be useful background.
