Description

Describe the Current Behavior/Feature:

You currently need to type out the entire url for a pod provider in the sign up page.
Screenshot_20240710_033510

Rationale:

We should give users the option to select a previously known provider without having to find the url externally or typing it all out.

Proposed Changes:

Add an autocomplete dropdown for pod provider in the existing pods.

Possible Drawbacks:

We'll need to add additional servers to the list as they are added. There may be additional complexity

Alternatives Considered:

...

Additional Context:

We currently already have a server autocomplete in the nav bar

Research direction

Start by locating the sign-up page's pod-provider field and the existing server autocomplete in the navigation bar. Reuse the existing behavior as a reference, then verify that the pod-provider field offers known providers in a dropdown while still supporting the intended URL entry.
