Registration and confirmation

Two steps

Registration is in two steps, because the second one costs something real: a workspace is a database of its own, a signing key of its own, and a first account. The form at runjet.dev writes one row and sends one email; the database, the key and the account all wait for the link in it. That ordering is the abuse control — anyone can fill in the form, but only somebody who reads the post at the address given gets a workspace.

The form

Workspace name is what every screen and every email calls the workspace — usually your company or team, not you: your own name is asked after the link. Web address is what will follow app.runjet.dev/. It is filled in from the workspace name with any legal form left out — Nová firma s.r.o. suggests nova-firma — and you can edit it, but it cannot be changed later, so it is worth a second look. Then Your email, a timezone, and who is registering. That email becomes the workspace's billing address and the address of the first account. After submitting you are given a page that can say what state the registration is in, and an option to send the email again — no sooner than a minute later. One address receives at most five confirmation emails a day, whichever names they are for; past that, the form says so and the last email sent still works.

Who is registering is an individual, a sole trader or a company, and it decides which terms apply and whether consumer protection does. Nothing is preselected and the field is required — a guess would be a decision made for you. A company is asked for its registration number and an individual is not; the number is recorded, never verified. An administrator can change all of this on the Workspace screen until the workspace has been paid for, and after that by writing to us.

Timezone is the zone the workspace's schedules will fire in. It is guessed from your browser and left editable, so the common case costs no clicks and the guess is never applied out of sight. An administrator can change it later on the Workspace screen, and a form that sends nothing gets UTC (scheduling).

The email

"Somebody asked for a Runjet workspace called … using this address. Confirm it and choose a password." The link lasts 48 hours — long enough to come round after a weekend. The token that creates the workspace is in this email alone; what the form got back can only read state.

Confirmation and building

The link leads to Choose a password, which also asks for your Full name — the name your account is shown under, as an invited colleague gives theirs when they accept. Saving starts the build: a Building … page refreshes itself and within a moment becomes … is ready, with a way to sign in. A build that does not finish, for whatever reason, is tidied away after a day and the registration can be repeated. When the page says We could not reach your registration, the link has expired or been used — fill in the form again.

The first account

The account created this way is an admin — the only way a workspace gets its first one, because there is nobody to invite it — and carries the name you gave beside the password, which you can change later. Every further account is created by an invitation. The workspace starts on the Pro plan and pays nothing for the first thirty days; what happens after that is in its life and in plans.
