I would like to use the site without logging in. A Google account is required to use the site (pastcasting, calibration, estimation game). This is an unnecessary hurdle. Not everyone has or wants a Google account. From a technical point of view everything could work without logging in (using cookies or localstorage for persistent state) and I would be fine with not being able to show up on the leaderboards.
I understand that the Google login makes it easier for you to make the site and this might be an unreasonable request.
Thanks for the feedback Forslack! I’m curious whether you’d prefer to play without logging in because you don’t have a Google account or because you don’t want to share your email?
Not Forslack, but if you’re going to ask for permission for Google to share all that info you should have a clear privacy policy visible for what you’ll do with it. Also, I don’t think you have to request all that info from Google, like real name, to use a Google login.
