Description

Are there any plans to offer different login options? Some people object to using Google's services, and having this as the only option might be perceived as too restrictive.

Other login providers could be:

  • openID
  • GitHub
  • GitLab
  • ...

Thanks for your work on this open source tool. Looking forward to trying out StoryMap!
