Create an account
Sign up for Paddlewheel with your email or GitHub.
You need an account to build apps. Signing up is free, and you can start on the Free plan.
Sign up with your email
Go to paddlewheel.dev and select Get started.
On the Sign up tab, type your email address.
If a friend gave you a referral code, add it under Referral code. It's optional.
Complete the check under the form, then select Sign up with email.
Open the email we send you and select the link in it. The link signs you in, so there's no password to make up.
Sign up with GitHub
On the Sign in tab, select Continue with GitHub and approve Paddlewheel in GitHub. If you don't have an account yet, one is created for you.
New accounts may join a waitlist
When the sign-up page says New accounts join a waitlist, your account is created but you wait for a spot before you can build. Accounts that already exist sign in as usual.
Signing in later
On the Sign in tab, type your email and select Continue. Then use your password if you've set one, or ask for a new sign-in link by email. If you've turned on two-step verification, you'll be asked for your code too.
