Why teams move off Nolt

Nolt does the voting board well and cheaply, and still puts the board on a domain that is not yours, behind a login that is not yours.

What you give up

Very little, at small scale. This is one of the easier subscriptions to drop.

This directory says so when an engine only covers part of the job. A replacement that needs a caveat is still worth knowing about — it just should not surprise you in week three.
