Open leetjoy opened 5 months ago

leetjoy commented 5 months ago

Description

Proposal

Introduce Google Sign-in as an authentication option for Gleev to improve user experience and increase sign-up rates.

Google Sign-in is the most popular social login method. Implementing this feature could significantly reduce sign-up friction and improve user onboarding.

Key points

  1. Google Sign-in streamlines the registration process, reducing user frustration.
  2. It provides reliable user data, potentially improving user profiles. (optional)
  3. Google Sign-in is widely recognized and trusted by users.
  4. Implementation could lead to increased sign-up rates and user retention.
  5. Warpcast uses Google Sign-in, and this kind of login is being adopted across other Web3 applications.
  6. It can help with implementing account recovery for users who have forgotten their seed phrase. (optional)

Steps

  1. Evaluate technical requirements for integrating Google Sign-in with Gleev.
  2. Design user flow for Google Sign-in option.
  3. Implement and test the feature.
  4. Monitor adoption rates and user feedback after launch.

How urgent this is?

Not a blocker, but still worth considering

Although this is a nice idea and surely makes things more convenient for users it does not seem like it would be a gamechanger currently. So I think it should just be in the "nice to have" category of improvements.

I say this because I took a look at some other platforms/competitors and many of them (such as Rumble, Odysee and even Twitch) did not have this feature yet seem to be successful enough without it
