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_
