Alright so I'm going to say it: Make a local install please I'm begging you. As a 1-man consultant, I really don't want to: 1. Download docker or some other LAMP stack 2. Compile and run it 3. Launch a local database everytime I open it from my laptop 4. Voila! I'm into my locally server DB with a nice fronted.

No thank you. If you want adoption it has to be adoptable, and most open source crms (SuiteCRM, Odoo, ERPNext, Espo, Crust, Corteza, Civi, etc) I've tried them all. I'm now back to running an Excel workbook split into categories taken from a notion template.

Please just make this local :( It's gorgeous!

Interesting feedback! The recommended install is already local (through yarn).

The only piece mentioning docker is to provision a Postgres database, which you need to have to run a CRM anyway. We have planned to replace it by a section explaining how to install Postgres on the different OS. Planned for next week!

I think you need a js engine to run the entire thing which entails shipping that with the product to make it "locally installable". Then you get into complex version dependencies and require support for upgrading and upgrade paths... yarn is pretty straightforward and so are docker containers.

Haven't looked into the technical details of it, but it seems like this should be as simple as slapping it inside of electron to have a fully local and cross platform install.

Yes, that would solve the javascript interpreter aspect, but then you need to provide update services and updaters to customers, logic to update, an installer, support for said installer, testing for breaking changes to updates... It's more complicated than just bundling the code in a static wrapper.

They seem to have a pricing page so if you don’t want to do that then use the hosted one?

Yes! We've setup the pricing page for this launch to avoid disappointing users later on but we're not enforcing pricing at this point.
