I’ve been experimenting with the discourse/discourse_dev Docker image (on Windows 11 laptop) and noticed a small friction point in the developer workflow. When running Discourse in development mode without outbound email configured: 1. You can reach the signup/login page via Ember CLI (localhost:4…
