This is neither a new pattern, nor does it seem to be executed in a particularly interesting way. Am I blasé or am I missing something?

- zevyoura 14y agoI haven't seen this before; what other apps/sites have used it?
- moeffju 14y agoI first looked into this sort of solution after reading an article about it what must have been 1.5 years ago. We then implemented it for Toptranslation.com (user can create a password or just use a link to login to their dashboard). I also remember two or more stories about this scheme on HN since, which (of course) I cannot find right now :( I suppose I started noticing it more once I had actually implemented this process in a public product.
- durkie 14y agocraigslist? any time you want to post, you get a link that lets you confirm/publish the post, or edit/delete the post.
- zevyoura 14y agoThat's an excellent comparison, but from my understanding there's not a concept of ongoing users beyond the author of any individual post. Great point, though, that seems like the highest-profile similar example.
- StavrosK 14y agoI came up with it independently two or three years ago: http://www.yourpane.com http://www.yourpane.com It now uses either that or Mozilla Persona, which I find better.
- alexsmolen 14y agoI built NoPassword (https://nopassword.alexsmolen.com/ https://nopassword.alexsmolen.com/), an open source Rails implementation of this design. It was on the front page of Hacker News a few months ago. I use it on another site I'm working on, Agave Society (http://www.agavesociety.org http://www.agavesociety.org).
