It looks pretty, but has some fairly substantial problems.
- Data collection: Generally feels nasty these days, especially on something self-hosted. The opt-in-by-default newsletter checkbox might even be illegal in Europe. Don't know what else it might be calling home about without checking the source.
- Deceptive data collection: The HotJar survey popping up starts making you think maybe it needs to know where you host images so that it can handle image uploads... but no, it just wants to collect data and dial home
- Docs say that the docker instance starts on port 8080 - it isn't, it's on 5000
- Email and password validation: it's a little thing, but that should be at least configurable. Valid emails can contain "+" character.
- Couldn't work out how to connect from one docker instance to a second docker instance mysql database. Might need some kind of docker-compose setup though, I didn't look that long
- Couldn't create a new database either. It said it created, but then wouldn't let me add a table, just errored. No idea why on that one.
And that's kinda where I gave up.
