This page mostly repeats text that will be found on the emails it is referencing on how to sign in, with the addition of some useful features for using loomio on your phone. These features are true for any web app, with the process for them specific to the user's browser and phone. There is usefulness in this article, but I think it is hard to maintain, and the usefulness is not worth the maintenance cost. Rather, the maintenance can have a negative effect on the article's usefulness. We would need to continually stay up to date with iOS features and display and update this page whenever it changes, updating every screenshot when there's a UI change. If we change the wording or process of the email signup, we would need to go in and adjust every screenshot for that section, even though the section boils down to "follow instructions on your email". Lastly, we don't have any screenshots for Android, so it gives an impression that we are better suited for iOS which is not accurate. Because of this, I don't think this article should be included, at least not as the second article in the sidebar. Perhaps the troubleshooting section could be folded into a more general FAQ/troubleshooting aticle?

hell yeah. I never had the guts to do this, but knew it should happen. |

This merge would remove the signing in page from our user manual.
