The newsletter offers a balanced take: the move is frustrating but developers are free to make unpopular business decisions, and users can fork, switch, or build alternatives. Also covered: a new native Nextcloud desktop/mobile app, ESPHome Starter Kits from the Open Home Foundation, HCCF's application for a .self top-level domain with ICANN, a critiqued AI manifesto from Mark Zuckerberg, a spotlight on the self-hosted novel-writing tool Hammer, and a batch of video links and sponsor shoutouts. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Did Planka remove single sign-on from its free community edition? Yes, Planka removed single sign-on capabilities from its community edition starting in the v2.2.0 release. This is widely referred to as an 'SSO tax,' a common but unpopular monetization strategy among self-hosted software projects that gates SSO behind a paid tier. Users who had already integrated SSO into their Planka deployments were affected, prompting significant community backlash on the project's GitHub issues. _Anyone tracking feature paywalls in self-hosted tools like Planka can follow changes like this on daily.dev._ ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@hemna** · 0 upvotes > Failed to load apps.
