What people say. Highly recommended as an impressive demonstration of a feature-rich, single-developer open-source file server.

Recent example of a great demo video that's gotten positive commentary on HN and in the YT comments: link to this video (this has the advantage of being a wizard-level piece of software). Also, use those differentiation examples on the homepage with the same "slide to show the difference" effect that the existing homepage example images have (they look generic, they give a very "just another AI image generator" vibe). Lastly, but probably should be firstly:…
