Local Development

We suggest you to create two applications, one for development and another one for staging/production.

For the local application, use http://localhost:3000/ as website entry if you are using the standard rails settings.

1 Note for Italian developers with H3G mobile phones: use the credit card verification process 'cause you will never receive the activation code via SMS :)
