  The only private alternatives are going to be self hosted and will require some technical skill. See owntracks for details. Source: about 1 year ago

• Trying to make a pair of compasses that always point to each other

There is a preferred way to prevent this. You disable all class level permissions for every class. Then you put your app logic to cloud code which is main.js file you were looking at.
