OpenID Improvements
Okay, one quick refactoring later. The site is now based on OpenID rather than locked-in accounts. So, you use an OpenID, you get logged in, a blank account is created for you and you must add a name before proceeding. That’s pretty much the deal. The login page now has some guidance on OpenID for anyone not familiar.
You can also add a backup OpenID (or 20). I will have those authenticate, but for now they just are made available to the account and so aren’t authenticated until you try to use them to login.
Also, congrats to the Heroku team for getting a big round of funding. I can’t wait to see what they do with the money. I’m sure it will be awesome.
