Hello, I just arrived here. As I posted to demo.rss.chat I managed to get this running on my mac, without much bother.
rss chat is now simper to set up so I gave it a wee go on local host. So far I've just run it from my downloads folder. The instructions worked but I am a node-no-nothing so I tripped a couple of times.
First I didn't npm install so nothing worked.
I tried to set up SMTP using SendGrid, but I lost the will to live half way through. Got an API key but
> Message failed: 550 The from address does not match a verified Sender Identity. Mail cannot be sent until this error is resolved. Visit https://sendgrid.com/docs/for-developers/sending-email/sender-identity/ to see the Sender Identity requirements
So I just copied the magicString from the terminal and constructed my own url:
`http://localhost:1420/userconfirms?emailConfirmCode=ysugstk4yc\`
Which did the trick.
Of course a localhost-one-person social network is not much use ;-) but interesting none the less.
Once I have braced myself and figured out SMTP I'll try this on my raspberry pi next.
John we’re going to include your way of working around email in our install notes.
Claude will read this and automatically queue it up for todo++, which should be all I hav3 to do to get it on the agenda.
Also noted that some of your markdown text is showing through encoded. You have to be in markdown mode to use that syntax. There’s an icon above the edit box, an M with a down arrow. It turns green when you click it, to indicate it understands.
