I like the idea, but having to log in with Google made me pause, and then I closed the page.

I am OK to register, even if I think that a quick demo should be possible without this step.

But I won't register with Google or Facebook or anything except an email.

I just chose google since I thought it was easiest way for someone to sign in without having to verify email, re-enter password, etc.

However, I never thought about the privacy concerns many people have regarding google signins. Thank you for the insight! I will definitely consider a workaround to this.

I'm quite the opposite. Please don't make me register by mail, just use Google identity and please use the minimal scope.

Good luck when google decides you infringed some TOS because you uploaded a youtube video with music playing on the background or some BS like that and just locks you out of all the services you registered with that feature

It took me less than 15 seconds to create an account on hackernews using a temp-mail (any free service would suffice) to respond to this comment (less than writing the comment itself)

try creating a new google account: - whoops, you need a phone number - whoops, you need to go through a welcome guide (it's getting progressively harder to skip it) - etc. etc.

All that for trying some use random service some random posted on some random news aggregator website without tying it to your 'main online identity' ............

You can use a temporary "junk" email when registering to something like that for testing it.

It is not very convenient to do the same with Google etc.

Same thoughts. Wouldn't prefer using Google to try out a site. I know a lot of developers who will close the page as soon as they're blocked with a Google/Facebook login. The service definitely sounded interesting. Hope to try it when they add an email registration option.

same here. authorizing google and keeping tokens around. I am against it
