Glowfic platform

Do you have a setting, character, plot, art, or other notion that you wish to put on the Internet? This is the Internet! Whee!

Fancy UI stuff is a reasonable feature idea, but more work and UI is not actually my specialty so I'll probably do basic text fields + wiki link as a step one :)

Those just require making existing rows bigger, not adding more rows, right?

Which is nice given the silly way herokuapp charges.

Since you have not yet added the option of controlling time zone, what is everything in now? I don’t think it’s UTC; is it US Eastern?

I've apparently misplaced my username and password. Is there a way to get it back?

I'm out and about but I'll reset your password once I'm back. Proper password reset will require me to figure out how to get emails to send, which is expected to cost money.

Getting emails to send should not cost money in the beta period. Get a (new) free GMail account and set it up for SMTP. You can then configure the site to send emails through that GMail account. I have used this solution for a (private) webapp I operate; I haven’t tested it with more than two users but don’t expect this to cause scaling problems.

This won’t send emails from the domain of the glowfic site, but it is perfectly doable in beta without much effort (especially since you don’t have a custom domain). You might or might not be able to do something similar if you get an actual domain for the site, but then the domain registration will cost money.
