Hello everybody,
this Post is about the current development status of 
Utopian Registration Process
As you might know - one of the current goals for utopian is to reach more users outside of STEEM(IT) and for this - an account creation interface is necessary.
Currently, new possible Contributors for utopian-io have to signup through STEEMIT - which is not optimal.
That's why 
Task Request
This task request was split into 2 seperate processes - the frontend part (what you see in your browser) and the backend part (what happens behind the scenes - account creation etc.).
While I was supposed to focus purely on the frontend-part - I now also develop the backend.
Now, in this post I will give everyone a quick development update about what the current status is.
Current Status
The registration process is live and looks nice - but not yet functional.
You can go to signup.utopian.io and check it out.
What I have done is the following:
- Setup a Server with Nginx and SSL via letsencrypt.
- Created the fundamental Frontend with VueJS based on the concept of
and tweaked it so it looks identical to the look of the new utopian.io
What is next?
The next step is developing the social-login - which means that new possible Contributors should be able to login via their GitHub, Facebook & LinkedIn Account and then confirm their email and depending on the verification level - need to go a step higher and verify their phone-number via SMS.
For this, I will use the available api.utopian backend, develop the needed logic there and then connect the frontend.
