Building a Tailscale native control plane for self hosting apps

Discussion

I wanted a simple control plane for my Pi where I can one-click install self-hosted apps and have them just work on my tailnet. No reverse proxy setup, no port forwarding, no messing with configs. Install an app, it gets a MagicDNS name, accessible from all my devices. Need it public? Toggle Funnel from the control plane.

Couldn't find anything that treats Tailscale as the foundation rather than a bolt-on, so I'm building it.

One Go binary and some web UI to manage everything. The code will be open source.

Early stages. Would this solve a real problem for you? What apps would you want in the catalog first? I'm looking for testers and any feedback would be appreciated.
