Important note

  1. You must deploy the app at the root level of your domain or subdomain. Deploying under a subfolder will not work. For example: https://yourdomain.com/ will work, https://chat.yourdomain.com/ will work, but https://yourdomain.com/typingmind/ will not work.
  1. You are unable to change the branding name and customize the UI.
  1. The static self-host version updates are delayed from 1 or 2 versions compared to the latest versions on www.typingmind.com
