Article - really?!? Good grief.

Pretty simple ask for 3 things. Options to allow changing vote, allow sneak peek of results, longer time limit on polls up to maybe 3 months.

Reason and benefit: would be great to be able to use it to capture feedback on longer term experiences. Things like software version updates, new products, experience with things over time.

Changing vote captures the change from “it works great on day 1” to “it broke on day 10”.

Sneak peek avoids random voting (for when someone forgets to add a “just let me see” option).

Longer time limit captures the change from day 1 or snapshot of now vs using it for a little while, without it being so open ended that it becomes stale.

I'm starting on the self hosted homelab journey. So far, I have docker set up, with Portainer and Jellyfin running nicely, and accouts set up for my wife and kids. I'd like a simple dashboard for available apps so I can give them one link, and they will see everything that they can use on the server, and get to the app (e.g. Jellyfin) with a click. I plan to add additional things like Mealie and stuff in coming weeks. For context, nothing will be exposed outside the LAN, as I have a nice easy Unifi setup so everything will be accessed via teleport VPN if outside the home environment. I don't want unnecessary security headaches.

I'm looking at Homepage at the moment after searching around and reading, so will experiment with that. Reviews and opinions seem very skewed to tinkering and homelab hobbying though, and not so many appear to review how it works from a spouse (and family) acceptance factor perspective. For me, the hobby side is great, but what will make it feel most rewarding is if I can put something together that my family actually find useful.

So, is Homepage the best thing for my proposed use? Are there better options?

As title. I just came to this app to try it out. On MacOS, M2 Mac, latest software (Tahoe 26.4.1). 5.2.11 wouldn't start. Rebooted etc and didn't help. I dived into the archive, found 5.2.10, and that works perfectly.
