Replace "--" with "&mdash;" as the markdown renderer doesn't do this for us
  • Welcome! Not only is it permitted, but you won't be the first to run a private instance -- there's already a [university](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/286827) using the Codidact code (QPixel) on a private network. We're building this platform not just for our own public network but for others to use too. (I recommend the `develop` branch rather than master; it's what we're running this network from.)
  • The readme and installation guide on the [QPixel repository](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel) have gone through several rounds of improvements as new people set it up and bump into things that were confusing. I think it's in pretty good shape now. If you run into any problems or questions, please let us know -- GitHub issues, questions on [Codidact Collab](https://collab.codidact.org) (for developers and people setting up the platform), questions on the [Dev Discord server](https://discord.gg/J6u64Ct), or questions here are all fine -- pick whatever works for you. If you make any improvements to the code, we welcome pull requests too.
  • Our team is small and we don't have the bandwidth to provide a paid SaaS offering. We'd rather put that effort into improving the code. The code's open-source, so hypothetically somebody *else* could do that, but I'm not aware of anybody who's exploring that business so far.
