I also don't boost images without alt text.

I mean, it's not one pixel, but definitely an improvement, thanks! 😍

Can you take the bottom off too, so it's just like a 1-pixel tall image from somewhere in the middle? 😏

Don't forget interacting with your admins like they're real people, as opposed to being aloof strangers.

I installed floccus for NextCloud ages ago on several of my browsers and devices in hopes it would do exactly that for me.... but it hasn't worked.
Since that failure (and especially since I use DDG browser in full privacy mode as the default on my mobile devices), I've been manually adding saved urls to my StandardNotes account and deemed that to be "tedious but better than wasting my time on another service that doesn't work either".
Maybe you'll have better luck.

That actually mostly worked.
The sheets backup file uploaded to their official demo without too much fuss, and while some of my formulae broke, they did so in the same way that Excel breaks when opening the backups, which means it's a problem I should be able predict and work around when working in it and building from scratch.
Now I just have to find a hosted NextCloud instance with Collabora (because I have already tried self-hosting a NextCloud instance and I openly acknowledge it's beyond me, even with the most dumbed-down tutorials I can find).
Any recommendations where I might find something like that?

Google Sheets (and Forms with Sheets-integration) has been the bane of my privacy-first drive. The only other spreadsheet+cloud tool that I've been able to find to handle my processor-hungry tables is MS Office (which is frustrating to use on mobile, even with the app).
I've been searching for an alternative for almost 3 years at this point... and I keep coming up empty.
I know I could probably cut it if I could manage to learn programming well enough to do my data processing in python or r, but getting over the hurdle of "I can already think in spreadsheet formulae logic/I can't yet think in [insert programming language]" is a mountain I haven't yet been able to scale.
