calling all the "sign in with Atmosphere" freaks, check out @anisota.net's new login experience and tell me what you think — this isn't a flow or pattern i'd recommend for every app, but it is an example of an opinionated one for just this app! video attached, or try it for yourself: anisota.net

I like this a lot, the confirmation step is really good the "Not you?" button doesn't really communicate its behavior, I would probably change that to back/cancel or maybe "switch account"

also the external link icon on the "Continue..." button makes me think "new tab". I think the hostname is clear enough, or you could maybe try a favicon somewhere

This is nice and the app I'm working on currently does something similar. But I'm still resistant to actually using "Atmosphere account", because I feel it adds a new term the user is less likely to be familiar with than any of the alternatives. "AT Protocol account" still feels least wrong to me.

totally forgot to include in the screen recording that there is an “i” info button on the sign in screen that brings up a helpful explainer about how the Atmosphere OAuth works in @anisota.net here it is on mobile:

just a small nitpick, but I would change "Your Host" to "Your Provider". I personally don't think people understand what a "host" is, but when they hear "provider" they will think "internet provider" or "cellular network provider", which is pretty analogous to a PDS from a credible exit standpoint

info box available during @anisota.net’s sign in flow, explaining atmosphere OAuth at a high level in terms most people can understand better

Nice info! Not sure if this UI is for an already signed in user who granted permissions. If not, it might be clearer if instead of “anisota can” it said “anisota needs permissions to”

The login is good, but this screen is clutch. It is incredibly jarring to get dumped out into the Bluesky OAuth screen and I know what is going on. Keeping it all in one place is one of those small things that punches way above its weight IMO

Seems similar to what @colibri.social does too If it works fine with password managers' autofill and auto-login, it's fine The ultimate login is using FedCM
