Readme
This val provides a web-based interface for collecting email addresses. It features a dual-functionality approach: when accessed via a web browser using a GET request, it serves an HTML form where users can submit their email address. If the script receives a POST request, it implies that the form has been submitted, and it proceeds to handle the incoming data.
Fork this val to customize it and use it on your account.

👆 This is a val. Vals are TypeScript snippets of code, written in the browser and run on our servers. Create scheduled functions, email yourself, and persist small pieces of data — all from the browser.
