Create a link to the mentorship program login #159

There is no link to get to the mentorship program login page

And the signup page on http://my.togetherplatform.com doesn't seem to provide a way to get to login once you are already signed up

I had to dig up an old email which had the link to the login page. Which I suppose in theory is fine if the mentorship program is a separate thing from Tampa Devs and the site just provides a way to sign up then you're totally on your own. But I expected I could go to tampadevs.com as a way to access the mentorship program once I'm already signed up, which currently is not possible

The "login" link is just http://my.togetherplatform.com

It feels like the best solution/experience would be that the signup link on http://my.togetherplatform.com has a "already user?" button where you can also log in. Not sure if this is possible on the togetherplatform side...?

Hey @ebanner,

When a user visits https://go.tampa.dev/mentorship (which is the link provided by the "Join Program" link on the homepage), they'll be taken to the following page directing them to sign in or sign up:

If anything, this sounds to me like a user discoverability problem in terms of having a separate "sign up"/"log in" button on the homepage, but I also am uncertain (based on program engagement metrics) of whether this is actually an accessibility barrier for people. The program has 117 registrants, 23 pairings, and 79 sessions running as of this week.

I'll also add that Together is integrated with our Slack, so folks also receive reminders and updates about their program activity as a DM as well (assuming they're registered in both Slack and Together Platform)

CCing @myorkgitis to weigh in here.

I just want to make sure we're on the same page - there is no "sign in" option on that page. Only sign up
