Early alpha version released!

I’m excited to release the early alpha version of this app! Please note that a lot can change between now and when the beta version is released later this month / early November.

Remember that with all alpha software, there will be bugs and issues. I do not recommend using this in a production environment.

A couple of things to note:

• Database backups are not available. So be aware that data loss is possible.
• A lot of updates will be happening, either daily or even multiple times a day. Go to App Settings to upgrade the app. I recommend you do this at least once daily.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me at [email protected].
