Login Feature

Login through the phone number

Login through Fb and Gmail will seriously limit our user base, as in our country a huge number of people using this service do not have access to tech, and our elders aren't tech-savvy enough to have FB/Gmail. An easier option would be login through your phone number, reaching everyone!>

Designing and adding functionality to solve this issue :)

@shilpi1958 and @SAITARUN55

I think we will have google and Facebook login after this pr merges, Can't we defer this after we have our first Proof of concept, as we have many other challenges like data managements and other station designs so i think we have to focus on that first..

@khushbuThakker
The design principles absolutely prohibit adding such features later.

1. You will have to change the login screen, have an additional verification screen for mobile number, changes in your profile page, the whole UI of the app will change, which is a burden for both designer and the developer.
2. User always comes first . This is the first principle of the product. You cannot have the product which limits the user base quite directly. Ultimately you need users.

I say this as a product designer. Rest, of course, depends on the common consensus. I will be fine with whatever the team decides :)
