Ask HN - do you face the "security block" ?
I've got an idea of product that would work on top of gmail (via oauth).
I'm going to do it, yet I'm quite concerned about what it would mean to get hacked etc.
Are you sometimes stopping yourself from implementing an idea because you are concerned about security issues ?
- seven 17y agoI killed some ideas in my mind, because I felt that nobody would use the end product because of privacy concerns. It took me a while to learn that the average internet user does not give a shit about privacy.
- thibaut_barrere 17y agoThanks for your comment - I noticed that as well once I had implemented my first gmail/openid enabled app. People just don't care, at all :)
- michaelaiello 17y agoI am in the same boat - almost killed an idea because of this but am going to go through with it any way. There are quite a few opportunities if you break the security best practice rules that will work just fine. Paypal had a similar approach when they started - they just let people make payments and beat the fraudsters and hackers later.
