I understand the pragmatic reasons behind such a decision, but insisting that I sign up with Google (and only Google) was an unfortunate blocker.

If anything, GitHub seems like a more obvious choice for such a site.

That is fair. I went with Google first because it let me ship the first version quickly, but for a tool aimed at developers GitHub and simple email sign in make much more sense.

I am working on both and plan to let people move their account once they are live if they would prefer not to use Google here.

I was hooked, but don't have a Google account anymore. Oh well…
