Another potential alternative: local accounts.
I worked on a site that's very privacy-oriented and users were still asking for accounts. We didn't want to store their information on our servers. Instead, we use localstorage to keep their settings and a list of things they've uploaded. They don't even have to sign in, and they still get the same experience. Try it: https://mediacru.sh https://mediacru.sh
It obviously won't work for everyone, but if you just want to offer users a means to keep track of what they've been doing on your site, consider going locally.
- r00fus 13y agoHave you had any issues with folks who switch browsers or computers not seeing their localstorage (which doesn't sync/migrate, IIRC)? I suppose highly-privacy-oriented users would prefer it that way...
- Sir_Cmpwn 13y agoSorry for the late response - the answer is no. We haven't received any complaints yet. However, we don't have the greatest of followings, so there aren't a lot of users to complain to us.
