next: anonymous "try" is broken
Before that next.js setup, the whole point of clicking on e.g. "Try Latex..." was to create an anonymous account and trigger the launch action to setup a new project and open a latex file.
Right now it's somehow stuck on the main index page, doesn't even create a project.
Interesting. I was literally just improving this functionality in my dev project right now... and did fully go through the anonymous workflow and it worked fine without getting stuck. So maybe the problem has something to do with the live deployment on Kubernetes? Since it was definitely working for me right now in my dev project.
Oh, I should clarify -- I was using the share server workflow. Maybe the direct Try link is broken. I didn't test that. I realize now you're talking about something else, namely the launch actions, which is completely implemented in the app (it's NOT the workflow that is part of the share server).
FYI -- I think the right fix for this particular bug is to completely get rid of this particular launch action functionality, and instead greatly improve the share server... including some gallery of latex examples.
Well, I'm talking about the "Try" buttons on the features landing pages. I'll see if I can fix this with a few changes.
I would just either remove those buttons entirely, or make them point to an example in the share server of a latex file (etc.), then improve the share server.
