I would love to work on this tomorrow if I'm allowed 😛
Don't know much about how tech team is handling things internally though.
Quill requires a .edu email, and most users don't have a .edu address associated with those 3rd party accounts. What we can do is create a separate process for those users at signup (maybe let them link their social media accounts), and then let them sign in in the future.
Or you can just remove the .edu requirement ¯_(ツ)_/¯
That's a good point though.
If we don't want to remove the .edu requirement it seems unnecessary to give them multiple authentication routes once they create their account though? Kinda confusing as a user imo
IMO we should just remove the .edu requirement. It's annoying for me, since I have a separate email for hackathons, and might be annoying for other users. Might be worth it to start a conversation in the the techx branch about it. Also allows us a lot of flexibility with regards to other things we may be able to do, since sending emails to .edu addresses has been a pain point with Gavel, and might come up again here.
Quill definitely does not enforce the .edu requirement -- it has an option of whitelisting any set of domains: you can configure this in the admin settings and we've done that for wholesome hacks as well
Ah, I see. Well, then that's a green light for implementing this feature then.
thank god shreyas is familiar with the codebase
Also, @yursky feel free to start working on this if you want to, we'd love the help -- just assign yourself to the issue. This is a good feature, but not a priority for wholesome hacks -- the team needs to finalize and test other confirmation and check-in related features first.
Add Google/Facebook/MLH/other sign in and application auto-fill to make it easier for users to apply and attend our hackathons
