Invite flow
This implementation of Rooms 2.0 is compliant with the Rooms 2.0 specification, but we add a few additional features and pages in order to improve user experience when their SSB app does not support SSB URIs.
A summary can be seen in the following chart:
When the browser and operating system detects no support for opening SSB URIs, we redirect to a fallback page which presents the user with two broad options: (1) install an SSB app that supports SSB URIs, (2) link to another page where the user can manually input the user's SSB ID in a form.
Sign-in flow

We also support sign-in with username/password, what we call "fallback authentication".
