meteor-prelaunch

meteor-prelaunch is an application that lets you announce your future project and collect emails of interested customers. It's written in JavaScript using the Meteor framework. This project is a fork of mongolab-meteor-leadcapture-app by FrozenRidge.

Features

• Design inspired blatantly stolen from Bootstrap's Narrow marketing.
• Admin login with Github.
• MIT licensed.

Installation

1. Install meteor.js: $ curl https://install.meteor.com | sh
2. Clone this project: $ git clone https://github.com/jacquerie/meteor-prelaunch.git
3. Move in the project directory: cd meteor-prelaunch
4. Edit ADMIN_USERS (line 6 in app.js) so that it contains your Github username(s)
5. Deploy to meteor.com: meteor deploy APPNAME.meteor.com where APPNAME is your app's name.
6. Click on the Github button in the low left corner and register your new application following the popup instructions.

TODO

• Incoming email addresses are checked against a complicated Regex to ensure that they are valid. I agree with David Celis that this is the wrong approach: I'd rather use Kicksend's mailcheck.

• The admin view needs pagination. Currently no official package offers pagination, but there's some unofficial support using packages from Atmosphere.
