So many project ideas yet so little energy (lemmy.world)

God I wanna make so much art (drawing/painting/wood carving/crochet/build things/etc), make comics, learn languages, learn how to deep clean and power wash, garden, make clothes, make fursuits, travel, hike, forage, make youtube videos, go urban exploring, go ghost hunting, animate, preserve animal skeletons and insects, etc etc.

But I'm so perpetually exhausted that even just planning out an idea takes a lot out of me, and it feels so unfair.

Thankfully medication has helped out a looot (I mean the difference between taking genuinely months to do anything vs being able to do so within a week or even a day if lucky is quite an improvement) but it's not gonna make me superhuman any time soon ^^;

I can build what I want, it's more about having ideas in think. Except math intensive things, I'm not interested in algorithms.

This is my current idea. I have been asked by my family to get a private messaging solution so we can all share pictures etc, basically facebook but we have control of our own data. Friendica is close and takes care of the web side, but doesn't have an effective messenger.

So, the idea is to use this https://github.com/mesibo/messenger-app-android and integrate it so it uses the profiles configured in our Friendica instance.

When this is done, Friendica will be a truely viable alternative to Facebook that anyone can use. Long term goal is a one-click installer to set up all of the above on AWS or something, so that any family can have their own private facebook and federate with their friends.

You can use Signal

Where is the data stored, and is it easily manageable?

Signal is a centralised service so it would be stored in their servers but its encryption protocol, the Signal protocol, is well regarded. It also collects little metadata which can be concern for people with very high threat models.

and is it easily manageable?

Assuming you're referring to user-friendliness, the UX is very intuitive and people find it easy to get others to migrate there because of it.
