Quickstart for Cora users

Create an account, verify your phone, and submit a report — aligned with the current Cora web app.

Follow these steps on the live app at cora.fyi (or your team’s deployment).

1. Create an account

   Open /pages/signup or use the Sign-up here link on the /pages/login page.

   You can register with email and password (then confirm your email from the inbox link) or use Sign up with Google. The main header shows Sign In when you are logged out; there is no separate Sign Up control in the bar.

2. Sign in

   Go to /pages/login. Email/password use the main form; Sign in with Google is a separate submit control. Cloudflare Turnstile may appear on auth pages depending on configuration.

3. Verify your phone (required for reports, votes, comments)

   Complete SMS verification on /pages/verify-phone. You can open it from Authorize Now on the in-app reminder when you try to upload without verification, or go there directly while signed in.

   Until profiles.phone_verified is true, you can still browse the Reports page and interactive map without signing in.

4. Submit a report

   Open Make a Report (/pages/upload). If you are not signed in, you will see a sign-in gate first. If you are signed in but not verified, you will see the authorization reminder instead of the form.

   On the form: choose a category (required — the server rejects missing category), add title and description (required), fill address fields, optionally attach a PNG or JPEG (about 4 MB max), then submit. After success you are redirected to the home page (/).
