May I suggest you create an #issues or #feedback in Linen to show off the capabilities as well as perhaps allowing the feedback to live on your platform rather than in HN comments?
The signin experience is wonky for me, and I think it may be part of my secondary complaint that there doesn't appear to be any way to manage my "identity" on the platform
I do see in the XHR that it has support for `displayName` and `profileImageUrl` but there's no obvious way for me to manage those things. And, because it seems to be in the channel JSON versus in the /session response, it makes me wonder if (like with Slack, barf!) I have to set them anew for every community I join?
When I say "signin is wonky," I mean that after authenticating, the "Join the conversation" button remains as a call to action no matter how many times I click on it. And then if I click on the Linen logo, it always says "Sign in" as if it has forgotten who I am, but it clearly knows who I am because going back into the https://www.linen.dev/s/linen/c/default https://www.linen.dev/s/linen/c/default carries a bunch of authentication cookies and I can see myself in the XHRs
- cheeseblubber 4y agoGood suggestion I've created https://www.linen.dev/s/linen/c/feedback https://www.linen.dev/s/linen/c/feedback We have displayName and profileImageUrl but haven't gotten around to letting you set it yet. We built a Slack and Discord sync first so we had these attributes. But I agree with you we want to let you set a single account with profile images across different communities.
