What and why

For self-hosted single-user instances, the signup page is useful exactly once during initial setup. After that it just sits there, unnecessary, with no plans to invite other users.

The ask

There should at least be a configuration option to disable the signup page after the initial setup. For self-hosted, single-user instances, the signup flow is only needed once. After that, it's just unnecessary friction on every visit. A simple toggle (e.g., DISABLE_SIGNUP=true in env).
