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.
|
||||
|
||||
## 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_
