Log in
Until Cactus takes payments, a first login puts you on the waitlist instead of creating your account.
On the web app, select Log in with Google or Log in with GitHub.
Until payments open, the screen says "New to Cactus? Logging in puts you on the waitlist." After they open, it says "New to Cactus? Logging in creates your account." The waitlist is covered on Waitlist.
Where you land
What you have | Where you land |
|---|---|
An invitation to a team | Where you land "Inviter invited you to team", with Accept invitation |
Your own team, with a product | Where you land |
Your own team, with no product yet | Where you land |
If you have no team, one is made for you on the spot and you go on from there, so nobody fills in a team form.
Joining a team
If a team already exists on your address and you have no invitation, the page shows its name and one button.
- If the team lets anyone on your address in, Join takes you straight in.
- If an owner must let you in, Request access emails the owners, and the page reads "Waiting for an owner of team" until one lets you in.
- If an owner says no, the page reads "Team didn't approve your request".
Places on the tray
The tray runs down the left of each page and holds these places, from the top.
Folding the tray
On a narrow window the tray starts folded to its icons, and a place's name shows when you point at its icon. Once you open or fold the tray yourself, the window's width no longer decides, and your choice is kept in a cookie in this browser.
On a phone
Under 640 pixels wide, the tray gives way to a dock along the foot of the window. It holds four places round Ask, and a tap on Ask opens a conversation.
Opening a product
You open the product you chose last. A link from outside the app that names a product opens that product, and the address is then read again without the product's number.
Pages before a product exists
Until your team has a product, its team pages show without the tray around them, and the tray appears once a product exists. A signed-in person with no team is sent to the welcome page first.
Signed out
If you are signed out, a page of the app takes you to log in first, then returns you to the page you asked for.
