Great idea, really good name.

I looked at the back end source.

Do I understand correctly that when I run your app in my PC, the ISO is built on this server and then I download it?
Why does app.py submit and ip address to a google form?

You should know, stuff like that is going keep a lot of self hosters from recommending this.

That is correct! We looked at different options on how to build the ISO (mkisofs is really cool but doesn’t play nice with the NixOS installer image), and ultimately went with building it on a Nix server.

Apologies for that, that was a leftover from when we were trying to gauge how many people were downloading ISOs when we showcased it to a club on campus yesterday. That has now been removed.
