What's Wrong?
Not really a bug, but several small things that make the experience annoying:
Claude asked me to /login, so I did:
- it did not open the link in the broswer (Firefox), so I clicked on the link that was posted by claude in the terminal of Rider on windows.
- the link was line wrapped and only the first line was detected as hyperlink (missing the characters in the further lines), so I had to manually copy-paste it into the browser.
- It took very long to open the webpage. When it did, I entered my email and it asked me to enter another code that was sent to my email address.
- the email I received did not contain a code. instead it contained another login link.
-> Fortunately, that link worked for logging in and I could access the code I needed for /login.
What Should Happen?
- The link should open directly / the whole link should be clickable, containing all characters needed
- when logging in, it should either ask for the password or tell what the email actually will contain (another link, not a code)
