The only essential thing I'm missing is a camera!
We've implemented a convoluted solution for this where - if the OAuth user does not exist but the OAuth email is in use by a password-based user - the following happens.
1. We prompt user to authenticate with their password.
2. Once successfully authenticated, we link the OAuth auth method to their user to be used in parallel with a password-based login.
Not every Auth provider might support linking multiple Auth methods to a single user, we use Firebase Auth and for us this works fine. We even support multiple OAuth options (FB, Google) and do the same matching between the providers.
At Waitwhile, we work on tools to eliminate the 1 Trillion hours that people spend waiting in lines every year. We help companies like IKEA, Lululemon, Hartford HealthCare and many others improve waiting for over 100M people (including a lot of COVID-19 vaccination lines right now!)
We're a bunch of engineers and designers building great product and technology - but we know next to nothing about Marketing and how to build a brand.
So to that end, we're looking for our first outrageously good marketing leader (VP/SVP/CMO) to build our marketing strategy from the grounds up. We're posting this here on HN since we want someone who is technical and excited about doing scrappy and clever things.
We're profitable and raised a Series A ($12M) from CRV recently to go faster, so we have some good capital to invest in great marketing.
If you're interested, send me (the CEO) an email at christoffer@waitwhile.com or check out the job posting on https://waitwhile.com/jobs
Supernova in the East is also deeply fascinating and disturbing.
