stuck on "lets go" after adding a project if there is no network access (firewall)

[c33s]

in the firewall logs i see repeated accesses to gravatar. i would vote for allowing gitbutler to work without network access

[KroniK907]

I would agree that any network required aspect to the program should fail gracefully and still allow basic offline functionality.

I have blocked all gravatar connections on my pc. With this this setting, Gitbutler loads forever with

ERROR get_base_branch_data: gitbutler-app/src/assets.rs:121: failed to proxy gravatar url gravatar_url=https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/xxx?s=100&r=g&d=retro error=error sending request for url (https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/xxx?s=100&r=g&d=retro): error trying to connect: tcp connect error: connection timeout (os error 110)

It would be really nice if Gitbutler wouldn't have such hard dependencies on a rather unimportant feature. Also for privacy reasons, it's grossly negligent to send all private email addresses to an external service without even asking.

Same here. Especially as a developer in China!
