The door
The water's just past this door.
Members walk the full shore and set a lantern of their own on the water. Signing in is one email and one press. No password, nothing to remember.
Free. No spam, no selling your address. The link is good for 15 minutes and signs you in for about 90 days.
What signing in opens: the walk along the shore, and the right to set your own lantern down. Every light on that water is a real catch. That's all, and that's plenty.
One press and you're in.
Pressing the button proves this link reached you. After that the pond knows you on this device for about 90 days.
The door already knows you.
You're signed in on this device. Walk down to the water whenever you like.
