Streamlined signup process

Several people had commented on the overly clunky and complex signup process, so I made an effort to streamline and simplify it.

Where the initial signup form had a page of fields to fill in, it now just asks for an email address and password, and then walks you though the rest of the setup process:

After your account is setup, you can optionally customise some of your wiki’s settings:

• Your wiki subdomain
• A personalised name for your wiki
• Your login user name
• Your login password

Dropbox authorisation

I also polished up the Dropbox authorisation a bit. Some people were put off by WikiPack asking for “full Dropbox” access instead of “app folder” (sandbox) mode, but it turns out that when you’re using other apps that allow you to browse your Dropbox folder, they’re using full Dropbox access too.

Here’s a list of the apps I’ve granted access to my Dropbox folder, all using Full Dropbox mode:

You can check which apps have full access to your Dropbox contents here

Once you’ve either selected a folder containing existing Markdown files and imported them, or used the template option to create a new folder, WikiPack will only access files within that folder.
