I’m interested in your idea, bringing what we’ve mastered in chat to the forum, but I don’t want to give my phone number or spin up a forum just to see. Is there an example forum?
- philip1209 5y agoI've been posting updates here, where you can see a demo: https://bookletupdates.substack.com https://bookletupdates.substack.com I'm working on "public" groups, so that I can link directly to a meta group about the project from the homepage. It should be live early next week! -- I'm using phone number as primary login for these reasons: 1. I want passwordless login 2. Passwordless login with email is confusing because most people have multiple emails. But, most people have only one phone number. 3. I want to support per-group email preferences easily (i.e., multi-email) 4. iOS auto-fill makes it trivial to sign in 5. Phone number verification hopefully provides enough spam control that I can avoid deploying tools like Recaptcha - which I think are more invasive to privacy. (I'm aiming to be 100% Google-free and Facebook-free)
- eropple 5y agoYMMV, but I'm absolutely not giving my phone number to a service of dubious providence because my employer told me to. I'd suggest federated login ASAP.
- charcircuit 5y agoI personally find giving out my phone number as being several orders of magnitude more invasive to my privacy than filling out a simple captcha.
- philip1209 5y agoThanks for the feedback!
- tourist2d 5y agoLet me share with you, this one quick, easy trick on how to lose 90% of sign ups.
- philip1209 5y agoUnfortunately, the data reflects this. I'll reevaluate phone-based login!
