this is cool. I would want the retro to be recommitted back to a different git repo as a merge request, though. I don't like more emails.

May as I ask how you're dealing with authentication/authorization? I always hit a wall monetizing side projects when I need to provide auth. I feel like I shouldn't have to roll my own auth system, but inevitably I do.

I'm not sure what your environment of choice is, but I use Python with Django which has great built-in email/password auth and a really nice user admin tool[0] if that's all your looking for.

For third-party authentication/authorization, I use the python-social-auth django integration[1]. It has a massive number of third-party systems that it can connect to and it's really simple to get it set up. I would guess your language of choice has similar tools. I know passport[2] for nodejs is a solid choice.
