From 7c843dedac00ebc25127852c7a74c6e07064bfc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Clarke Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 09:57:03 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] docs: correct install time and reword the hosted-peer caveat The homepage and /try both said installing your own peer "takes a couple of minutes". It takes a few seconds, so the copy was overstating the cost of the thing we want visitors to do. The homepage also ended on "keeps everything on your side", which is vague about what "everything" is and what "your side" means. Say the concrete thing instead: it keeps your data on your hardware. Both pages now also say the private data on our peer moves across in a single click. /try already said this inside the warning alert; the homepage note and the "Ready to run your own peer?" section did not, so the migration path was invisible at exactly the point a visitor is weighing whether switching costs them their room history. Copy only, no layout or logic change.
