coming_soon

What is it?

coming_soon is a basic template to collect emails while your real site is under construction. There is a landing page where watchers will leave their email details, and a page protected by basicauth that will give you a .csv of all registered watchers.

How do i see it in action?

git clone git@github.com:cmaitchison/coming_soon.git
cd coming_soon
bundle install
heroku create --stack cedar
heroku addons:add sendgrid:starter
rake shipit_with_migrations

OK, now what?

Enter your email address and get an email sent to you. You'll be customising this.

Navigate to /watchers to get a .csv of every email and IP that has registered.
