My email address in Claude contains my full name. I pay it with a bank card and the bank already verified my full identity.

Realistically this is a "who cares" for me. It represents very little if any incremental privacy loss.

The only question left is which countries will have access or if it will be USA only.

The patient's phone number is visible to the nurse and you can see that in the app screenshot. Their goal was to mask the nurse's mobile number while having the app work offline and this solution achieved that.

Great work thanks for sharing. I've been looking for something like this for generating invoice PDFs without bloat.

(This is my first post after lurking with an account for several years)

Congrats on the launch, you've done a great job. The app looks good and you've clearly and persuasively differentiated it from the competition.

One option is to get an FTP account, mount it locally with curlftpfs, and then use SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem.
