    Been seeing the posts pop up recently and I really like the look of your software, bookmarked for future jrnl integration possibilities.

    But what a missed opportunity to not have a Journiv Ahead in your second headline :)

    It looks really good, I'm definitely going to be spinning this up once I get a chance. Having OIDC right out the gate is a huge plus in my book!

    The setup wasn't too bad but I did bang my head against the wall a little. The docs on your site have an incomplete callback uri (it's missing the /auth/ part of the URL) and I didn't notice at first. My only real complaint is I can't seem to find a way to disable external signups but still allow OIDC auto provisioning.

    All in all though, this is great and I can't wait to use it more.

    Looks fantastic! I’m going to install it on my cluster this coming week for sure. Didn’t see but is there any plan to support locations or routes? Having location data along with some basic plotting could make this perfect for travel journaling too, which I’d be interested in..

    Thank you. Please provide any feedback on github issues.

    Yes location, weather will be coming soon. There is existing feature request opened by the community for this. I am not sure what do you mean by routes. Can you provide more details as what such a feature will look like?

    I've used this the last 8 days and have really liked it. Takes away some of the friction to journaling.
