1. Goes to site. Clicks appointment.tb.pro link in sidebar.

2. Gives email address.

3. Is told to join the waitlist.

4. Blocks email address given at 2.

Hardly a terrific experience.

I'm curious how it blocked your email, could you share more details on what message you got? Feel free to reach out to me outside of HN.

I blocked the email. I use one-time addresses at Fastmail.

I meant that after step 3, I was never interested in hearing from the service again.

Yeah. We need to create a docker container and make it easy to deploy for folks. We're not ready with the hosted option at the moment.
