I haven't had much luck with their "live" report though so I have a Cron job running every few minutes to regenerate it.
Also a mobile game for solving abbreviations (currently website is just a placeholder https://www.wtftag.com)
Also this should probably be in Show HN rather than Ask :)
I did make the confirmation optional previously, I think first step will be to go back to that and work from there towards a signup-as-an-edge-case approach.
Thank you, you've given me a lot of food for thought.
Maybe my views are outdated about this, but I haven't see this done without registration, sure I can store stuff locally in the browser/device but the second you switch, your data is lost.
I guess I could make it easier for the latter security-naive user by offering SSO with Facebook/Twitter/what-have-you but in the end it's just glorified signup, a better UX sure, but working around the same problem.
If you can give me examples of other apps that have done this well, I'm all ears, this is very much a learning experience for me and I'd like to take away as much as possible.
So I'll work on that next, probably a random easy sketch you can draw without signup and as you submit it, you submit a signup form.
I guess I got carried away working on what's behind the login wall, but better onboarding/signup is the next thing I will work on.
By no means finished but it's first time I've shipped a side project from start to finish so it feels good :)
Would love to be in the cool kids club
