Thom at Mt. A says they do a lot of outreach on social media, and that tends to engage people on their phones. They'll sign up for an account from their phones, but need to find it again when they are in front of their computers.

Basically, if you sign up with a specific collection or organization, send them an email that includes a link to sign back in from their computer and will take them there.

more input from Thom: Found an example!

https://www.hubspot.com/email-signature-generator ˆIf you view this article from a phone it give you a different pop up prompt saying "(Article Title) isn't available on mobile yet. We hope you'll try it out on a larger screen: Email Me the Link"

I just tried this (went to a collection page on my phone, wasn't logged in. Tried safari, chrome, and chrome incognito), and couldn't get it to work. Not sure what's going on, but I'd like @sylvieed to investigate (we can help) so we can get it working.

Odd -- when I test this in production, it doesn't work, but testing the same way in development does work. I wonder if it's something with the mobile_device? helper function: https://github.com/benwbrum/fromthepage/blob/e84bbc4e92e9fc0e82e56dd798d6c112bca07a56/app/helpers/application_helper.rb#L262-L264 that doesn't work in production? Is there any way to test this? I can't see anywhere else that could be different in production.
