Why didn't you just use a single account?

Have you considered using two accounts instead?

What's the difference between this and simply making multiple accounts?

ftxbro May 20, 2023 View on HN

what about the multiple accounts?

Needs multiple account support IMO. A lot of us have a separate "work" and "personal" accounts.

I was kinda hoping this was official support for multiple accounts.

I just wish there was a way of letting multiple people log into the same account without sharing credentials.

It's common for users to have multiple accounts and use the built-in account switcher.
