It is now possible to sign up using Github. I added Github first for the following reasons.

  1. It was easy
  2. It supports single sign-in with Google and Microsoft partially giving me both indirectly
  3. It caters to the technical crowd I'm aiming for

That said, I do want to add more sign-in options. And they probably should cater more to the alternative web. But also broad accessibility. So I should likely target options down both lanes.

Which additional sign-ins should I add first:

For those worried about "too much" corporate integration and privacy. Sign-in with OAuth does not give a corporation knowledge of your account or any details here. Facebook/Google is not going to be able to spy on you in any way enhanced beyond their general public scraping. It just gives people who don't want to come up with a password a one click way to get in.

Also, if you already signed up with a password but would like to use github you can bind your github by following this link.

Of course spotting bugs and giving suggestions is welcome and encouraged.

Thank you for this. It makes it easier to log in. I remember when I forgot my password twice.

Woah, cool. I didn't realize how much the demand was and that it would get immediate use. I should have done it sooner.
