How someone joins

An invitation email opens their own sign-up on stylus.me.
They set up their closet and style in the web app.
They enter their mobile number and tap Chat now. Their messaging app opens with JOIN and their code filled in.
They press send. That text is their opt-in.
Stylus replies to confirm, then texts again once their account is ready. Stylus never texts first.

What Stylus sends

Every text starts "Stylus:". With RCS, numbered replies become buttons to tap.

Link Stylus: Here is your closet, ready to open: https://stylus.me/l/7Kq2Mx. The link works for 24 hours. Reply HELP for help.
