Issue description

Following the guide listed here on master or even the v0.2.0-alpha1 tag I encounter a blank page after registering. This is likely because I am doing something wrong, however, the guide should allow a casual user like me to spin up an instance.

Environment

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Follow guide listed in docs
  2. After registering the main page shows empty.

Thanks for the notification!

Yes, things are still under active development. The alpha was to test the CI process and ensure tagging a latest release will work.

@danpastori will be working on migrating his code from the previous version into our new Laravel 10 application. Expect more updates soon!

commented

Naturally! Let me know if you need any help!

I had to create the folders manually and change the compose.yaml. It still didn't make the screen load but at least the folders are populated now with files.

Am I correct in understanding that there is no actual functionality that has been developed so far and merged into main other than being able to create an account, login, and view your profile?

commented

@keyneom That's what I'm seeing as well. The readme makes it seem like this project is much further along than it actually is. Great vision, but maybe a bit premature on the "launch".

Doesn't seem like any active dev in the last ~ 3 months

Why the page loads to a blank screen

We used the first release to prove a concept and get a CI/CD process in place. We put this in the README but I think there's still confusion.

What's next

Subscribe to this PR:

We have two open source projects that this project depends on that we've been working diligently on:

Docker PHP just had it's release last week. Spin just had major breakthroughs this week. Financial Freedom runs off of these projects, so we need to get them out the door first. We're also a two person, bootstrapped team so have to take on client work to pay the bills.

Proof we're working on it:

@jaydrogers I think there's some good feedback here that it's difficult to know how far along this project is. Perhaps it may make sense to have that be reflected in the project's README. As it stands right now, this project looks to be much farther along than it actually is. The Features section is what sold me initially, and caused me to spend the better part of my weekend attempting to set it up and debug why the front end wasn't rendering.

I'd like to add that I am experiencing the same issue. It seemed to me as well that the project was more polished than the current state, considering there were Reddit comments from 2 years ago that led me here. I'm not a developer, so I may not be able to contribute to the project, but I would love to help test this as there is further development done.
