Being able to have one profile which represents multiple machines/devices #138

Hi

I would love it if there would be some kind of Login Logout mechanism with this app. Is that on the roadmap?

what is the use case you have for the feature? curious to know

var-che commented 2 years ago

To have an account that I can access multiple different machines. And to be able to share the same app with other people on the same machine. With this, we are bound to the same machine and same account.

Regarding the architecture of holochain, with which Acorn is being built...

"To have an account that I can access multiple different machines." - This is a complex challenge that's very different in distributed systems contexts than conventional cloud computing and web2.0 simplicity. It's not impossible but taking lots of engineering resources to accomplish.

" And to be able to share the same app with other people on the same machine." This one would be very simple and is just a UX thing. One way that this could currently be accomplished is just by having multiple user accounts on your operating system level. Acorn would actually treat these two user accounts as separate, and they would have access to separate set of credentials and data.

Ah, I see. Thank you for the insight, I really appreciate it.
