Why should I have to sign up with my email for yet another service? :(

    Do you want to sign up with something else?

      I wish you could sign up with your social media account or use more of a frictionless signup flow ala reddit or HN. The IRC 'signup' process (pick a name, start chatting) has always seemed to me the best option for messaging platforms, although it's not widely adoped.

        We used to have social logins but we ditched them for now, people want to chat pseudonymously. I would like to do the name only signup at some point. We currently use email to do: * password recovery * send people a summary about who got in after they have left the community

        Ideally we would let people opt in to that last part. Then all we need is a way to secure access to your nick.
