The app displays a standardized introductory modal using [Blockstack Connect](https://github.com/blockstack/ux/tree/master/packages/connect), a JavaScript library that makes it easy to integrate Blockstack into the UI of any web app.


The following [React component](https://reactjs.org/docs/react-component.html) triggers this modal in [`src/components/Signin.js`](https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack-todos/blob/master/src/components/Signin.js):
Below, you can see the relevant parts of the [React component](https://reactjs.org/docs/react-component.html) that triggers this modal in [`src/components/Signin.jsx`](https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack-todos/blob/master/src/components/Signin.jsx):
This component imports the [React hook](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-overview.html) [`useConnect`](https://github.com/blockstack/ux/blob/master/packages/connect/src/react/hooks/use-connect.ts) from the Blockstack Connect library.
`useConnect` returns many helper functions such as [`doOpenAuth`](https://github.com/blockstack/ux/blob/5934829a40338ac269b80783912c8dad17af1962/packages/connect/src/react/hooks/use-connect.ts#L33), which triggers this modal upon click of the "Get started" button.

The modal is designed to prepare new users for a different type of relationship with Blockstack apps, one in which they authenticate with a *Secret Key* that's used to encrypt their private data.
The modal displays the app's name and icon as configured in [`src/components/App.js`](https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack-todos/blob/f6ab7b38f3f9bd98a900c7f285da4f4dd9768d60/src/components/App.js#L26):

This component loads the [`UserSession`](https://blockstack.github.io/blockstack.js/classes/usersession.html) module from a second Blockstack library called [blockstack.js](https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack.js/), which complements Blockstack Connect by providing an API for many protocol-level operations, such as for authentication and storage.

This will call `saveTasks` with the `isPublic` parameter set to `true`, which is used to disable encryption when using `putFile`.
The app will now show all of your todos to anyone who visits the URL displayed with your Blockstack username as a suffix.
### Sign out and see your public tasks
This triggers an event, which [under the hood](https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack-todos/blob/master/src/components/Header.jsx#L47) calls the [`signUserOut` method](https://blockstack.github.io/blockstack.js/classes/usersession.html#signuserout) of the `UserSession` object.
### Sign out and back in
Now, visit the URL that was provided to you when you made your tasks public. This url is of the format `/todos/:username`, so if your username is `jane_doe.id.blockstack`, the URL would be [`localhost:3000/todos/jane_doe.id.blockstack`](http://localhost:3000/todos/jane_doe.id.blockstack).
When you visit this page, the `TodoList.jsx` component detects that there is a username in the URL. When there is a username, it calls `fetchTasks`, this time providing the `username` argument. This `username` option is then passed to `getFile`, which will lookup where that user's tasks are stored.
### Sign back in
At this point, you will be logged out from the app but not you'll still have an active session with the Blockstack app itself on [app.blockstack.org](https://app.blockstack.org). Navigate to app.blockstack.org and select "Sign out" there if you want to deauthenticate the Blockstack app as well.
