Thanks for sharing Matt!
Some questions for you: did you connect Waterhole to your existing userbase so people can post without having to create a Waterhole-specific account? If yes, could you share more details about how you handled this connection to your existing userbase?
I can answer this, since I did the implementation. Currently authentication for the forum is exclusively via Google OAuth, the same as authentication for the Tana app. It's on the roadmap to work on a tighter auth integration though (as well as making Waterhole generally more capable in this regard).
