• Web stash: quick bookmarks without forms
• Public channels
• Private channels

Installation

• Clone this repo (everything is in the master branch)
• npm install

Configuration and Accounts

Configuration is the /config/config.json file
Two switches are of importance:

• "isPrivatePortal":false
• "invitationOnly": true

If you want a private portal that requires login (or signup), set isPrivatePortal -> true

If you want an open portal (anyone can signup -- easiest for personal not-online testing), set invitationOnly -> false

Accounts are maintained in /data/accounts/accounts.json

When you clone this repo, that file is filled with lots of test users (fake).

Suggested installation:

• Empty all /data files and folders (don't erase the folders) except inside /data/accounts
• Delete the accounts.json that came with the repo
• Rename accounts_template.json to accounts.json

Running

• npm start
• visit http://localhost:3000/
