v1.0.1 — Documentation & Email Fix

Patch release with an improved deployment guide (including a new Docker image deployment path) and a fix to the email verification flow.


🚀 What's New

Deployment Guide Overhaul

  • Alternate connection methods — The "Connect via Public Git Repository" option was moved out of Step 6 into a dedicated section at the end of the guide. A brand-new "Connect via Existing Docker Image" path with screenshots (render_19–23) lets users deploy directly from the pre-built GHCR image without connecting any repository.
  • Step 4 now links to these alternatives so users discovering them mid-setup can find them easily.
  • Better visual separation between the main guide, alternate methods, and Blueprint deployment sections.

Email Verification

  • The app now sends a fresh verification email on every startup, not just the first launch. This ensures the confirmation/welcome email always arrives after a new deployment or restart.

README Rewrite

  • Simplified language and reorganized into a clear step-by-step flow (fork → download .env → complete setup guides → deploy).
  • Replaced technical jargon with plain English to make the project accessible to non-developers.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Email verification email not sent on restartsender.py now resends the initial verification mail every time the app starts, fixing deployments where the welcome email was missing after a re-deploy.

📚 Documentation

  • Reorganized docs/setup/render-deployment.md with alternate connection methods
  • Added 5 new deployment screenshots (render_19.pngrender_23.png)
  • Added VoucherBot preview screenshot to README
  • Rewrote README with beginner-friendly step-by-step setup
  • Corrected LICENSE file content
