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.

- 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!
