+Until the alpha starts, openclapper.org shows a short page (`apps/site/ui/src/Teaser.tsx`, strings in
+`teaser.ts`, English and German) **without a form** (issue #12): the confirmation mail of the double
+opt-in needs a sending provider (Workers Paid or Resend) that is not set up yet, and without it no
+address may be collected. The notify route and its form come back with the provider; `parseNotify` stays

+list only: email, signed up, confirmed, remove, and the CSV of the confirmed addresses (issue #10).
