Congrats! However, it does not look ready to be used. For one, I am missing docker-compose which would spin both frontend and backend with all dependencies. Documentation does not state that but in backend docker-compose file I see a dependency on Redis. Things like that makes it hard for me to try this out (also, not supporting local models - but this might be coming in the future, as you've stated)...

Can I ask if your concern is about the Redis dependency or about the fact that it is not stated in the docs?

100% valid criticism. You're right - the setup experience is rough: - Missing unified docker-compose for frontend + backend - Redis dependency not documented - No local model support yet

I was focused on features and neglected the developer experience. That's a big miss.

I'm starting a new job tomorrow and won't have bandwidth to fix these immediately, but I'd love help from the community if anyone wants to contribute: - Unified docker-compose setup - Better documentation - Local model support (Ollama/llama.cpp)

All PRs welcome! Thanks for trying it out despite the rough edges.
