# OpenAlias Web
This tool creates custom pages with crypto-currency payment details for any domain with [OpenAlias](https://openalias.org) entries.
It can be used as a tipping/donation page. No setup or signup is required. All details are gathered exlusively from the OpenAlias DNS entries.
## What is OpenAlias?
OpenAlias ([openalias.org](https://openalias.org)) is an open standard for simpler addresses for any crypto currencies. [Read more here](https://openalias.org)
At its most basic, OpenAlias is a TXT DNS record on a FQDN (fully qualified domain name).
By combining this with DNS-related technologies [it has] created an aliasing standard that is extensible for developers,
intuitive and familiar for users, and can interoperate with both centralised and decentralised domain systems.
## Example:
Here is the page for the entries from `[email protected]`:
[[openalias-web-host]/[email protected]](https://openalias-web.herokuapp.com/[email protected])
## How to get your page
If you already have a domain with OpenAlias DNS entries you already have one: `https://openalias-web.herokuapp.com/YOUR DOMAIN`
If not, simply configure your DNS entries as described on [OpenAlias.org](https://openalias.org) (because of DNS propagation it might take a bit until your page is available)
## Development
The app is written in Rust and uses the [rocket.rs](https://rocket.rs/) web framework.
To run the app locally:
$ cargo run
Build a release:
$ cargo build --release
### Deployment
The app is deployed on Heroku using the buildpack: [emk/heroku-buildpack-rust](https://github.com/emk/heroku-buildpack-rust).
## ToDo
- DESIGN, DESIGN, DESIGN - a properly design page is required... can you help?
- get a proper short domain
