Demo Update v0.2.0 - Account Management (Patreon)

New to the Patreon? All patrons can check out the demo at backloggery.club. The demo's data is not connected to the current site and will not carry over to the public release. You can see current plans and known issues on the Trello.

If you asked me if coding a proper login/account management system was complicated, I wouldn't hesitate to say yes. But it never fails to surprise me just how many details go into what looks like such a simple interaction. Which is to say, sorry that took longer than expected but yeeesh. I'm glad that's mostly over with.  

On the bright side, this also involved setting up some backend systems that'll  come in handy for bans, premium memberships, and making a smarter Patreon auth system that will allow non-patrons to browse the demo.

As always, thanks for your feedback and support!  Stay cool out there. 🌤️
