## Documentation ๐
You can browse the documentation [here](https://docs.retrospected.com).
## Using Retrospected ๐
You have two ways of running Retrospected:
- Using the public version, at [www.retrospected.com](https://app.retrospected.com)
- Host Retrospected [on your premises](https://docs.retrospected.com/docs/self-hosting/quick-start)
## Want to host Retrospected on your premises? ๐ฅ
You can start an instance of Retrospected in 5 minutes by following the [quick-start guide](https://docs.retrospected.com/docs/self-hosting/quick-start).

## Frequently Asked Questions
#### What if I want to name my session so I can remember easily how to come back to it?
You can actually change the session ID in the URL with anything you like: for example [www.retrospected.com/game/hello_world](http://www.retrospected.com/game/hello_world)
Try not to take a too common name though, to avoid anyone else finding your session by chance.
