Sorry to hear. The beauty of giving folks admin access and that's why we can't have nice things :). Excuses aside, in case you're still interested maybe try a bit later. The demo resets regularly. If you still run into issue, please don't hesitate to send a quick, low-key bug report: https://github.com/trailbaseio/trailbase/issues . Strong wording welcome

sounds like a nice side project for myself / something new (wth is that hype on Firebase and alternatives?) to look into on weekend like create per-user (likely with some limit of total 10 or so instance) demo env - average sysadmin like me should be able to handle it.

If i'll do something, will let you know if you wish

It's mostly about communicating the intend and a testament to Firebase establishing this rather broad product category, i.e. DB + dashboard + auth + files + ... You could probably also call it "a bucket of generally useful stuff", just doesn't have the same ring :).

Totally feasible. There are also kubernetes deployment manifests in the repo. That said, I don't mind the shared instance too much. There's pros and cons. Happy to chat more.

Sure thing. Thanks!
