Announcing my latest open source project, in collaboration with @carl

@jfred Well, the client does include a link labeled "Use a Matrix client"
That'll let your users open the room via a pre-authenticated client of their choice.
@asbjorn Oh, good point! I think I missed that because the styling doesn't make it super obvious that it's a link, and I'm on a mobile browser where I can't just hover over it.
Is there a way to disable username/password auth entirely and rely solely on the user's client for submission? I'd rather not even ask for their creds.
(My current blog isn't a static site, so I don't currently have a use case for this, but I might in the future!)
@asbjorn No problem! :)
Good luck with the project, it looks really cool!
@jfred Hahah, web styling isn't my strong side 😅 Thanks for the fedback!
There isn't a config option to disable the authentication bits per se, but you could always hide the elements you don't want by editing the CSS file.
