  [![Build Status](https://semaphoreci.com/api/v1/projects/9bc21553-c95d-4769-9ea7-a3af17dc4fd1/478931/badge.svg)](https://semaphoreci.com/codelitt/launchpage-rails)      
  
  
  This is a quick application to get up and running quickly with your new
  startup idea so you can focus on your actual product. It is a prelaunch
  MVP landing page aimed at gathering signups and testing market interest.
  It was originally written as an open source alternative to LaunchRock.
  It is written with Ruby on Rails. Originally, we needed an application
  that provided signup for two types of users for a two-sided market. It's
  out of the box, ready to go.  Just add styling. Fork and enjoy!
  
  *It may have a bit of our content, but it wouldn't take you too long to
  change it to fit your need. Just a heads up.*
  
  ### Example
  
  Here is an example of the launchpage once it's all styled/designed
  (although, both the project and design are old):
  [Backstagr](http://www.backsta.gr)
  
  ### Features
  
  1. Email collection for two types of users
  
  2. Social sharing
  
  3. Auto mailer
  
  4. Ability to export user emails via CSV
  
  5. Post signup survey and questionaire to gather more market research
     from your beta users.
  
  **Coming soon**
  
  6. Waiting list social actions (i.e. move up the list if you share to 3
     friends or something along these lines)
  
  ### Get it running
  Items you should change to customise it for your needs (baring the
  obvious. I'm not listing those. You'll see the title, etc.):
  
    - The .gitignore includes the mail initializer.
  
  1. Add the following environment variables with your configuration.
  
      ```
       SMTP_ADDRESS
       SMPT_PORT
       DOMAIN
       SMTP_USERNAME
       SMTP_PASSWORD
       FROM_EMAIL
       MAIL_SUBJECT
       DEV_EMAIL
       AUTH_TOKEN
       ```
  
      An example,
  
      ```
       SMTP_ADDRESS= smtp.gmail.com
       SMPT_PORT= 587
       DOMAIN= mydomain
       SMTP_USERNAME= myuser@mydomain.com
       SMTP_PASSWORD= mypassword
       FROM_EMAIL= welcome@example.com
       MAIL_SUBJECT= Welcome to the awesome service!
       DEV_EMAIL= test@example.com
       AUTH_TOKEN= myPasswordForAccessingUsersList
      ```
  More details on setting up environment variables are available [here](http://railsapps.github.io/rails-environment-variables.html).
  
  2. You'll want to go into `app/views/static/success` as well as
     `app/views/layouts/_twitterscript`/`app/views/layouts/_facebookscript`
  and change the details of the social plugins to match your
  domain/twitter/facebook. It's easy to add HN, Reddit, etc.
  
  - All the normal rails stuff to start up an app. I'm only calling out
     the items that need to be changed that aren't so obvious.

  2. Make your changes in a new git branch:

  3. Create your patch, including appropriate test cases making sure they
     pass.
