The dev blog for Justin Duewel-Zahniser's Chapbook poetry sharing web app project. I'm going to post random stuff here that's too big for the dev list and hopefully get conversations going with testers/users.

OpenID Support

I’ve added in OpenID support.  You can now create an account/login using OpenID and/or Clickpass.

There are, however, some oddities.  Clickpass doesn’t appear to provide nickname or email when it authenticates a user so if you login by OpenID you can’t use an existing account.  Long term, this won’t be a problem because my plan is to move to purely OpenID-based authentication, use what data the provider will give and ask you to fill in the rest.  That way, I won’t be generating a bunch of proprietary, chapbook-only user accounts.

I’ll probably also stop accepting file upload avatars and go web-based instead, encouraging the use of Gravatars.
