I find it odd that forestadmin boasts security, but requires you to setup your project over HTTP, although there is a HTTPS version available.

https://app.forestadmin.com/new-project redirects (via JS, if https is detected) to: http://app.forestadmin.com/new-project

I can understand your concern. But don't worry, there's no problem here.

HTTP is used when you create a localhost project. On a local server, API requests transit directly from the browser to the local server without going through an external network.

On a remote server, HTTPs is enforced to avoid security issues.
