- ONCE initially aimed to sell self-hostable web apps for a one-time fee but failed, except for Campfire.
- Campfire, Writebook, and Fizzy were released as open-source, leading to widespread adoption and contributions.
- ONCE is now an application server that simplifies running multiple apps on a single machine.
- It offers a terminal interface for tracking metrics, zero-downtime upgrades, and scheduled backups.
- ONCE is designed to be easy to install and manage, even on a laptop.
