This is super awesome to see open source - I wonder if there's some value in email flows for self-hosted software as well.

I'm thinking if someone self-hosts a complex OSS app like Dittofeed (or even HyperDX ;) ) - would it be beneficial to allow admins to enable email onboarding flows like they get in the SaaS side of things, so end-users can be drip-fed product docs appropriately (and even customize it themselves if they're a big enough enterprise)? This can probably help onboarding/adoption internally if done well.

Either way - I'm really excited to try this out on our cloud side of things to help our new users learn our platform faster :)

Hey, great idea! We should probably make our internal onboarding journeys public like you’re suggesting so that self hosting users can benefit from them :)
