Hey! I wrote my app in ClojureDart and I've written a blogpost explaining how I got my retention to suck slightly less. https://www.getdisorganized.com/blog/from-6-to-25-d1-retention Many of the lessons have been said before but I often see new apps make the same mistakes that I did, so clearly it's worth repeating.

How do you authenticate anonymously without email?

Also, great post! If you can find a eye catching title I feel it could trend on the top page of hacker news

@didibus You can read more about it here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/flutter/anonymous-auth So it lets you create a user id for a user without connecting the id to any type of email etc. The downside is if the user loses their device or re-installs then they won't be able to access the account anymore. There is a good way to convert anonymous into a properly registered user, though. Already tried HN, they didn't like it! Maybe because of the title 😅
