Authentication

Google Sign-In, sessions, and signing out.

The platform uses Google Sign-In for authentication — there are no passwords to remember and nothing to install.

Signing in

  1. Click Sign in in the top navigation.
  2. Choose your Google account in the popup.
  3. You're returned to the app, signed in.

A session is created automatically and persists across page reloads, so you stay signed in until you sign out.

How sessions work

  • Your session is stored on the client and rehydrated on each visit.
  • The UI waits for the session to load before showing account controls, preventing a "flash" between signed-out and signed-in states.
  • When signed in, the Sign in button is replaced by your user menu in the top-right corner.

Signing out

Open the user menu (top-right) and choose Sign out, or use the Sign out action on the Settings page. You'll be returned to the home page.

Troubleshooting

  • Popup blocked? Allow popups for this site and try again.
  • Stuck signed out after sign-in? Refresh once; the session needs a moment to hydrate.
