A landing page application that collects company information and allows users to add additional details through email links.
- Simple landing page with LauraMepson branding
- Form to collect company name and email
- SQLite database storage for submissions
- Email functionality to send users a unique link
- Continuation page for adding more information
- Image upload and storage using Uploadcare
This project includes solutions for handling Uploadcare image uploads, specifically addressing the issue where multi-file uploads create groups instead of individual files.
When using Uploadcare's multi-file uploader, files are grouped together with a UUID like:
cb08730c-9c8b-46bb-a79e-9ab0f228939e~1
To access individual files, you need to use the /nth/0/
syntax, which can be cumbersome and doesn't give you direct access to individual file UUIDs.
Two solutions are provided:
- Use Single File Uploaders: Configure Uploadcare widgets to upload one file at a time
- Extract Individual Files from Groups: Use the multi-file uploader but extract individual file UUIDs
/public/uploadcare-demo.html
- A comprehensive demo showing both problems and solutions/public/uploadcare-fix.html
- A focused solution with implementation guide/public/single-file-demo.html
- A demo of the single file uploader solution
The single file uploader solution has been implemented in the main application:
- Changed
UPLOADCARE_MULTIPLE
tofalse
in the global configuration - Replaced the multi-file uploader with multiple single file uploaders
- Updated the JavaScript to handle individual file uploads
- Added a helper script (
/public/js/uploadcare-helper.js
) with utility functions

The application uses a SQLite database with the following schemas:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS laura_mepson_submissions_v1 ( id TEXT PRIMARY KEY, company_name TEXT NOT NULL, email TEXT NOT NULL, created_at TEXT NOT NULL, additional_fields TEXT )
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS laura_mepson_images_v1 ( id TEXT PRIMARY KEY, original_name TEXT NOT NULL, content_type TEXT NOT NULL, size INTEGER NOT NULL, uploaded_at TEXT NOT NULL, submission_id TEXT NOT NULL, cdn_url TEXT NOT NULL )
- User visits the landing page
- User submits company name and email
- Data is saved to SQLite database
- User receives an email with a unique link
- User can click the link to add more information
- Additional information is saved to the database
- User can upload and manage images related to their submission
- Main landing page:
https://[username].web.val.run
- Continuation page:
https://[username].web.val.run?action=continue&id=[unique_id]
Images are stored using Uploadcare:
- Uploadcare handles file uploads, storage, and CDN delivery
- Uploadcare's built-in image preview and cropping tools are used
- Image metadata is stored in our SQLite database
- Users can upload, view, and delete images
- Images are associated with a specific submission
UPLOADCARE_SECRET_KEY
: Secret key for Uploadcare API authentication
- When modifying the database schema, create a new table with a new version number
- Email templates are defined in
emailService.ts
- The unique ID generation is handled in
utils/helpers.ts
- Val Town HTTP vals use query parameters instead of path parameters for routing
