Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/753

How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

At the end of the Get Started flow, I'm presented with this screen:

Screenshot 2024-02-18 163832

Despite the fact that the heading says "Optional", I cannot proceed with setup leaving the email field blank. Unless I fill in the email field, the arrow button to the right keeps popping up the admonition shown in the screenshot.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

  1. Download and run the desktop app installer for Windows.
  2. Complete the setup process, choosing LLM, embeddings and vector store providers.
  3. End up at the abovementioned screen.

If you scroll down, there is a button to skip the survey.

I can confirm, it is optional, the opt out could be a bit more obvious, but this is 2024, dark patterns in UI are everywhere now even in open source applications.
