Namegarage

One sign-in for the site and its discussions

Releases#authentication#accessibility#privacy#comments

You can now sign in from the Namegarage header or from a blog discussion. Both open the same dialog, and one sign-in works in both places. Discord and Telegram join Google, Apple, GitHub, X, and LinkedIn. You can still browse the catalog and read posts and approved comments without an account.

Sign in from the header and you return to the page you were on. Start from a discussion and you return to the comment form with your draft intact. Your initials in the header open the account menu, where you can sign out. Comments still go through review before publication.

One dialog in both themes

Matching tiles and consistent label sizes make the choices easy to scan in light and dark mode. Each option has a visible keyboard focus indicator. The browser's native dialog keeps focus inside while it is open; press Escape to close it and return to the control that opened it.

What the account shares

Discord sign-in asks for basic account identity, without email or server access. Telegram sign-in asks for basic profile information, without your phone number or permission to message you. Namegarage displays your name and sign-in provider and builds the header initials locally. It does not fetch a provider portrait. See the account and comment privacy notice for what we store and how to request removal.

The site account is separate from lease and broker access. The server accepts sign-in returns only to supported public pages. We tested sign-in with Discord and Telegram in separate rehearsal storage, with analytics and ads off. That lets us verify the real sign-in without creating a live reader account or posting a test comment.
