I installed SilverBullet as a Web app using chrome, but I still get the login name and password and it does not save my material. Any suggestions. I am using windows. ---

It works when I installed it. I installed it as a PWA via chrome. The server as a chrome application. I have the file folder open but do not see where the error logs are. ---

The only way the PWA works for me is if I turn off wifi. SB is always trying to connect online and do the 15 minute wipe. I feel I have a long way to go in understanding this wonderful little thing. V ---

Oh my, the instructions posted made me think “Make a PWA- Voila done!” ---

In my defense, that playground does attempt to warn you: > This is a fully functional SilverBullet instance that **resets every 15 minutes.** > So go ahead, play around, but don’t keep anything valuable here. It will be gone in a snap.
