Challenges I faced

As a first-time user of Appwrite, I encountered some challenges during the project. While the overall usage of Appwrite was relatively straightforward, I faced difficulties specifically when it came to managing permissions. Assigning permissions to ensure that users could only access their own documents proved to be a challenging task for me as a newcomer to the platform.

Furthermore, I encountered some issues with Safari. While I managed to find a workaround for the file preview functionality, unfortunately, the file links cannot be opened in Safari. Chrome and Firefox work just fine. I have created a ticket in the appwrite GitHub repository regarding this matter: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/5600.
