The purpose of having a web-based user interface is to enable remote installation using a web-browser, which I imagine could be a pretty common use-case for server installation. Since a web-based interface is necessary for remote installation, it makes sense to use the same interface locally instead of having two independent interfaces.

Nix is probably the best way to get all of those things set up without shipping a whole distro, but there will be a bit of a learning curve. If you'd like something a bit easier to set up for development (still based on Nix), I'd recommend devenv.sh.

Maybe Discourse? The mobile website is pretty good and there are also a number of third-party mobile apps.

I really like immutable distros, and am currently using NixOS. I feel like despite still being relatively obscure, NixOS is a bit of an outlier since it has more packages than any other distro and is (so far) the only distro I've used that has never broken. There is a steep learning curve, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it for non programmers, but it is something truly different than all mainstream Linux distros while being extremely reliable.

In the US, students protesting the Vietnam war directly led to the end of free public education in California. Generally, the wealthy seem to fear an "overeducated" working class that is overly conscious of both world affairs and their own class position. Charging high tuition (and granting legacy admission, etc.) guarantee that the wealthy make up the majority of those who end up going though college.

nextcloud provides apps for both calendars and lists, if you're comfortable getting into self hosted services. of course, there are a number of other self-hosted apps that provide similar functionalities as well, but nextcloud is probably a good place to start
