Summary

When working with a Personal Desktop on windows I see a Port listed in my application window header. I have confirmed that if I go to my http://localhost:{port} I do reach a login page for focalboard but cannot create a user or sign in with any default credentials that I can find. I see in the files unzipped from the raw download there is a config.json that has port 8088 defined which differs from the port in the header and is also non-functioning by default. What is the purpose of that file?

What I would like to do is have the ability to load the tool on a machine and share the webview URL where the board could be reviewed perhaps over a team meeting live to make updates. This ideal scenario would be better if it were possible to use local tag-like Assignees instead of different account holders if its not possible to create accounts on the local/webview interfaces.

If this is not possible; could some comment or documentation be added regarding the webview's access from the personal desktop application and its non-functionality? Something that if someone else discovers in the future they can confirm is desired behavior vs a bug.

As a final note: I am unable to use the server edition of your software as only the personal desktop is accessible FOSS for internal usage.
