What's Wrong?

Not really a bug, but several small things that make the experience annoying:

Claude asked me to /login, so I did:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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)
