Hi,
I'm looking for a peer review of some code I put together for email
inviting users to join an application. I couldn't find anything suitable
looking around, hopefully I didn't overlook anything!
The idea is, you enter in email addresses into a form, click submit and it
will send an email to the email address with an invite to your application.
The email will contain a link which the user clicks to take them to a form
to fill in the rest of their required details, name etc.
I've tested this and it works, but I would like to know what others
thoughts are and there are any improvements that could be made.
Thank you!
