I don't use accounts with any of those companies, and I certainly wouldn't start just for a JS tutorial.
Why not just save progress as a cookie? (Why do websites have to have centralised corporate surveillance?)

- todd3834 8y agoA cookie wouldn’t let you continue from another computer (or browser) where you left off. If it stores scores from different “levels” or any significant amount of data local storage would be better than a cookie. Still, that wouldn’t let you continue where you left off on another machine/browser.

- gregknicholson 8y agoYes, or local storage — they're essentially the same as cookies in terms of UX. I don't want to continue where I left off on another machine — right now I just want to see the thing in the first place. If you expect people to sign in before they can see your content, presumably you expect they already know that they want your content — enough to overcome the hurdle of giving access to the 3rd-party account that you assume they already have or are willing to create. Progressive enhancement!
