I wrote an application called <a href="https://github.com/jberger/CarPark">CarPark</a> to control my garage door via a RaspberryPi and even spoke about it at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJc5yYONBBc">The Perl Conference</a>; it isn&#39;t ...

<p>And that brings us to the <a href="https://github.com/jberger/Wishlist">Wishlist</a> application.
Several sites, some large and some small, offer similar services: tracking your wishlists and aiding gift buying, all for free.
However, this too must also come at a cost.</p>

<p>In this article I&#39;m announcing that after adding a few tweaks around user registration, I have now released the Wishlist application to <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Wishlist">CPAN</a>.
I hope you can use it to keep a slightly tighter grasp on your digital footprint without sacrificing utility.</p>

<p>You can deploy it on a VPS, like <a href="https://www.linode.com/">Linode</a> or <a href="https://www.scaleway.com/">Scaleway</a>.
You could even use it on that old desktop computer in your home office as long as you are careful about network security.
Speaking of which, <a href="https://letsencrypt.org/">Let&#39;s Encrypt</a> finally makes SSL practical for personal users, try <a href="https://certbot.eff.org">certbot</a> or my <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Mojolicious::Plugin::ACME">plugin</a...
Once you have one service running, it will become progressively easier to host more and more of your own personal cloud applications.</p>

<p>I&#39;d love to see if Wishlist and CarPark and other such applications could put you back in the driver&#39;s seat for your digital lives.</p>

<h3>A Call to Action</h3>

<p>That said they aren&#39;t nearly good enough.
They need more tests, more documentation, more functionality.
It would be great if they could support plugins and theming.
