Description

Adds a "Try it out" tertiary button to the login page that links to https://flowfuse.com/get-started/. This helps users without accounts who land on the login page find a path forward, addressing the UX dead-end created when self-signup was disabled.

Thanks for adding this! Just to clarify my earlier suggestion, I was thinking of “Start here” on the sign-in page with supporting copy.

On a standalone button, “Try it out” can read as immediate self-serve access, which might be a bit different from what users actually see after the click.
