Local Development

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

For the local application, use http://lvh.me:3000/ as website entry. Rails 4.2.0+ will not respond to with its default settings, so you should run the server with rails s -b 127.0.0.1. Note that lvh.me is a free online service that redirects all requests (including subdomains) to localhost

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 :)
