Hi, everyone! We've got big news coming up: we're partnering with Neopets to
|
||||
add "Login with NeoPass" and some other integrations to bring our sites a
|
||||
bit closer together! Here's what to expect and why.
|
||||
_(Posted: March 13, 2024)_
|
||||
|
||||
## Login with NeoPass
|
||||
|
||||
Over time, Neopets is planning to send more users our way, and we want them
|
||||
to have a smooth experience when they get here!
|
||||
|
||||
**So, new users will be able to click "Login with NeoPass" and use their
|
||||
existing Neopets account**, instead of creating a new DTI username and
|
||||
password. Existing DTI users can also link accounts if they want, too!
|
||||
|
||||
**All of this functionality is optional, and removable at any time!**
|
||||
Usernames and passwords will still work as before—and unlike official
|
||||
Neopets accounts that need long-term permanent linkage, we intend to offer
|
||||
both linking and unlinking, so you can always have options.
|
||||
|
||||
We also know that a _lot_ of the pain points in Neopets and DTI right now come
|
||||
from transferring info between our sites by hand. **It's possible this could
|
||||
set us up for other smoother experiences in the future, too!** (Nothing like
|
||||
that in the first release though—we've just been chatting with TNT about what
|
||||
might come next!)
|
||||
|
||||
## Links to NC Mall
|
||||
|
||||
We're also planning to add **a few links from DTI to the NC Mall**, which
|
||||
we'll do our best to make thoughtful and unobtrusive. There's two main
|
||||
reasons for this!
|
||||
|
||||
First off, when Neopets sends users our way, we don't want them to get
|
||||
confused and stuck here. Existing DTI users know their way around NC, but new
|
||||
users probably won't, so we'll add a couple hints for how to get their
|
||||
designs onto Neopets.com.
|
||||
|
||||
The second reason is: we believe Dress to Impress is a critical part of the
|
||||
Neopets economy, and we want TNT to be able to see that, too. We'll include
|
||||
**a lil referral code in the link** so TNT can know which shoppers came from
|
||||
DTI, and can evaluate accordingly. (We expect this to be important for us
|
||||
long-term!)
|
||||
|
||||
## Why now?
|
||||
|
||||
Dress to Impress has always been a **very small-staff volunteer project**, and
|
||||
it's been clear to everyone over the past few years that we're struggling to
|
||||
balance DTI with the rest of our lives 😖 Work and life and family have their
|
||||
own needs, and they've been increasing!
|
||||
|
||||
And so… there are reasons we're being careful talking about details right
|
||||
now, but the gist is: we're hoping that partnering with TNT will not only
|
||||
help us fill gaps in the customization user experience, but can also be part
|
||||
of **a more sustainable future for Dress to Impress long-term**. I hope we
|
||||
can tell you more about it soon!
|
||||
|
||||
I know full well, and I'm sure you do too, that partnerships between
|
||||
companies and fan projects can be complicated. I promise I'm doing my best to
|
||||
represent you all, focusing on securing what's right for the community, and
|
||||
keeping in mind the importance of autonomy! We'll keep DTI independent, only
|
||||
do things we believe genuinely serve everyone, and keep a critical eye as we
|
||||
go.
|
||||
|
||||
So, yeah! It's NeoPass time! We'll be working on this in the coming months,
|
||||
and I'll let you know more along the way. If you have questions or thoughts,
|
||||
please email me at <matchu@openneo.net>, and I'll do my best to listen and
|
||||
help!
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks as always, everyone. We'll talk more soon! 💖
|
||||
_—Matchu_
