🔐 Missing Login/Sign-In Functionality
📌 Description
Currently, there is no visible login or sign-in option on the homepage (see screenshot). For a learning platform that includes roadmaps, saved progress, or personalized dashboards, authentication is a crucial feature.

There’s also no documentation or navigation link pointing to login/signup routes, which could lead to user confusion or access issues—especially if features like bookmarking, saving progress, or accessing restricted content are planned.

❓ Clarification Needed from Project Admin
Could you please clarify:

🔧 Is authentication/login/signup planned or already integrated in another part of the application?

🤔 Which authentication method is expected to be used?

Email/Password?

Google OAuth or GitHub OAuth?

JWT or Firebase Auth?

📁 Is there a specific folder or file where the login/signup component logic is or should be added?

Any help with setting this up would be appreciated so that contributors can work on implementing it correctly.

✅ Expected Behavior
A Login / Sign-Up or Sign In button in the top navbar.

Redirect to a login form with proper authentication flow.

(Optional) OAuth integration with GitHub/Google for a smoother onboarding experience.

🙋‍♂️ Would You Like to Work on This Issue?
Yes, I would be happy to implement or contribute to the authentication system if I receive the required setup instructions from the project admin.

Use Case

Adding a Login / Sign-In feature to this platform would bring several use cases, especially for a learning or roadmap-based educational site like the one you're working on. Here's a clear list of benefits you can include when raising or justifying this feature:

✅ Use cases of Adding Login / Sign-In Functionality

1. Personalized User Experience
   Users can save progress, bookmark resources, or continue learning from where they left off.

Tailored content delivery based on user preferences or learning goals.

2. Progress Tracking
   Logged-in users can see their completed topics, DSA problems solved, or roadmap milestones.
   Enables dashboards showing weekly activity or time spent.

3. Secure Data Access
   Restrict access to premium content, quizzes, interview kits, or exclusive blogs.
   Encourages content protection and controlled access through user roles (admin/student).

4. Social or OAuth Integration
   Quick access via Google or GitHub login makes it faster and smoother for developers and students.
   Reduces friction during onboarding.

5. User Feedback & Community Features
   Enables features like commenting on blog posts, asking doubts, or reviewing content.

Can build toward a community-driven ecosystem.

6. Email Notifications & Reminders
   Logged-in users can receive reminders for:
   Uncompleted tasks
   New blog posts or roadmap updates
   Hackathons, job updates, or webinars

7. Gamification and Rewards (Future Scope)
   Earn badges, ranks, or certificates after completing parts of the roadmap.
   Adds motivation and a sense of accomplishment.

8. Analytics & Admin Insights

Hello mentors,

I’m excited to work on this authentication system as part of GSSOC 2025!

I’ve already worked on similar login/signup flows using React (frontend) and JWT, Firebase, and OAuth (backend). Here’s how I plan to approach it:

✅ Add Login/Signup buttons in the navbar with proper routing
✅ Implement a clean and secure auth flow (email/password + optional GitHub/Google OAuth)
✅ Use JWT for session handling (or Firebase if preferred by the team)
✅ Design responsive UI with proper error handling and form validations
✅ Follow repo conventions and structure
✅ Provide before/after screenshots and a clean, well-documented PR

Please assign this to me — I’ll make sure to deliver a fully functional and tested authentication flow.

Looking forward to contributing!
