When a user first sets up their OpenPhoto account there are a few points of friction.

1. They need to sign in with BrowserId even though they may not yet have an account.
2. After signing up they're taken to the home page. They should be taken to the upload page (already logged in?).
3. After uploading the user should be given sharing options (this applies outside of the first time user experience).

I wonder if we could defer requiring them to authenticate their BrowserID account. My thinking is to auto log them in as part of the final setup step. This way they can start uploading photos immediately.
