Just a usability note - the sign in procedure seems very weird. I
tried to log in, but didn't want to create another independent account
so I tried "Sign in with Google" and "Sign in with Github". Both took
me round a loop of authorising the access, then said "no account found
for your email address" and I ended up back at the sign in page.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the first time I did this, I just
gave up. This time, I've sent this message...
