Thanks for the comment!!


Please limit these mass identical msgs to ur app only. Plz don't spam HN.

Cool idea. Clearly there's a market for it. But stop trying to force ur way onto the HN top. Makes U look desperate and attaches a negative feeling to U and ur app/use-case (Hardly wht U want)

I'm a huge fan of Clay - wish he'd bring his essays back online :/

I think he's right re: _equal say or power devolves into unequal power_

Maybe the key is not giving everyone equal power, but distributing power in away that captures each member's preferences for who should wield that power?

I'd also recommend the Programming Phoenix book, it's still in beta but the chapter on Channels just came out:

https://pragprog.com/book/phoenix/programming-phoenix


An alternative that worked well for me and seems a bit more streamlined to install: http://mchung.github.io/heroku-buildpack-wordpress/


I'm also using it and it works perfectly for me: http://blog.flaviocaetano.com (no spam intended)


I've found that the figaro gem is also a nice gem to use re: secret tokens and ENV variables in general - esp on Heroku. https://github.com/laserlemon/figaro


thanks! that's what not getting enough sleep will do to you...


I implemented most of the feedback from yesterday, and wanted to follow up. Thoughts?


Sorry to hear that. We went with the smaller font to fit everything on one page. Working on it now. As far as FB, we only ask for your email.


As far as FB, we only ask for your email.

"thirdplace is requesting permission to do the following:

* Access my basic information - Includes name, profile picture, gender, networks, user ID, list of friends, and any other information I've shared with everyone.

* Send me email - thirdplace may email me directly at <email>

* Access my data any time - thirdplace may access my data when I'm not using the application "


Unfortunately, with FB all apps are required to ask for basic information. All we have control over is the additional data (email). You are right though, FB sometimes asks for/gives away a lot of data unnecessarily.


But why do you want to access my data even if I'm not using the app?


when someone introduces themselves to you, you are notified via email, this way you don't need to constantly check the app for new intros. the only way to retain your email is to ask for offline_access


Sorry, but it sounds like you are doing it wrong.


I've only glanced at the Facebook API but I'm pretty sure he is doing it right.


Why not just let me enter my email? I can't use this as-is because I don't have a facebook account.


Increase the width of the page if you want to fit more in there. Your line length wasn't too long.


The width takes up 1/4 of my browser width. Even on smaller monitors, I expect it could be close to twice the length without running off the page.


What do you need FB for? Is it just for authentication? I have a certain level of paranoia when a site wants my FB info to connect; I almost always say "no". As much as I hate the proliferation of accounts, I'd rather create a local account to try out some new web site than associate my FB info.

For my own projects, I try to offer users the best of both worlds: create a local account if you want, or login with FB (example login screen: http://armhold.com/resources/com.armhold.QuickstartPage/comb...). It's certainly more work for you as a programmer, but you'll have fewer drive-bys that way.

Good luck.
