In case anyone is confused, it requires Facebook, so if you block FB, it will be pretty much an empty page with some footer links. I assumed it had crashed. But they assumed I allowed facebook.
Might be good to have something show up in case you can't reach facebook.
- justhw 14y agoThanks, I had a blank page and was surprised. (I use the disconnect extension)
- joeblau 14y agoThanks for clearing that up. I was wondering why the site wasn't showing up!
- codygman 14y agoI thought it had crashed too, lol.
- graue 14y agoWow, second Show HN posted today that does that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4944334 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4944334 I hope this isn't a trend.
- mayop100 14y agoThis is a technology demo. We wanted to demo our real-time tech rather than show a bunch of sign-up workflow code. Facebook auth lets us save a bunch of boring code.
- graue 14y agoWould it be much more code to support Twitter's OAuth as well? That'd appease me... everything on my Twitter is public and they have a much better record with regard to user data than Facebook. Plus your demo is a Twitter clone, so you'd get points for irony :)
- adventured 14y agoI don't block Facebook, and it's still not showing up. Just get a blank page.
- nvr219 14y agoI don't block Facebook completely, but I do use ghostery which blocks Facebook Connect. Had to pause ghostery to get anything but the footer to show up.
