Show HN: I made a tool that adds two-step verification to websites or apps

10 points by yansuck 13y ago

Hello! I just made my first web app with Sinatra. It is a REST API that helps people add two-step verification to their websites or apps. I am a complete noob in web development so please criticize me and let me know how shitty this whole thing is. :) http://two-step.herokuapp.com/

When you use the sign up form, why do you use a GET? This should be a POST.
- yansuck 13y ago
  It's POST.

    Ah yeah, you do a redirect with the ?message param. Why not store this in a session?

      I totally should. Didn't give it much thought when I made it.

  Thanks! Did you find anything unpleasant? Anything that I could work on?

    It would be nice if the email could be modified, but that's just a small thing. Or a custom message. What language did you use, if you don't mind my asking?

      I am sorry but what do you mean by modified email? I used sinatra(http://www.sinatrarb.com/ http://www.sinatrarb.com/) to build the web service and ruby for back-end. It is hosted on heroku. :)

Just a heads up, you're still using Webrick. Looks good though! https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-ruby#declare-process-types-with-procfile https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-r...

  I am sorry I am pretty new to rails. What's bad about using Webrick? I thought it is the default.
