There's a bunch of members using Stripe Connect. If you don't get an answer here, I recommend reaching out to them.
If I don't know with local knowledge, I just ask the hotel reception for any hospital/doctor where they speak English.
I think my health insurance provider can also provide me with contact info of relevant parties.
We ran into the same question with WIP where initially it was all based on Telegram usernames, but we then made having a Telegram account optional. Same with BetaList where we only used Twitter OAuth, but more recently added regular signups.
There isn’t a super clean solution.
What I ended up doing is letting the user choose their own username, but pre-fill it with their OAuth service name if available.
It hasn’t lead to any issues.
One extra benefit is that it gives people an incentive to sign up early to claim their desired username.
For what’s it’s worth I’m never a fan of this approach, as it temporarily exposes part of my email address to other users. Assuming the username is public.
How does it expose the email address? These names come from the creators' names on platforms like Twitch/Twitter/Discord. So twitch.tv/jaku my link would be mywebsiteservice.com/twitch/j….
I suppose if jaku is part of my email this is true, but they'd have to assume the rest of the email and what provider I'm using to receive email?
Unless I'm missing something here?
I like this idea! Also like your emoji suggestions, but agree that contrast might be an issue. I’ll try a few variations and see what works 👍
