Feature: (self) Identification of anonymous user

[henrikkorsgaard]

It would be nice if it was possible to provide identification in a more lightweight and ad-hoc manner than through authentication. This would make it easier to identify oneself without having to authenticate via one of the many authentication providers supported by webstrates.

The use case might be when somebody shares a codestrate and there is no need for full authentication or some of the users do not want to / have access to any of the authentication providers.

It may be as simple as changing the automatically assigned 'anonymous' user with e.g. 'Henrik'. This could be done by clicking the anonymous tag next to the user symbol (bottom-left) or via setting a small variable on the user object somewhere - your call :)
