Interesting idea, but anything that wants to read my email is a big Nope.

- Alex3917 8y agoNo OAuth is needed to make an account. For most social sites (e.g. HN), 95% of the content comes from 5% of the users. We're not trying to be any different, beyond the fact that it's also a useful business tool. Also, when our Gmail plugin gets released the OAuth story will be much better. Basically they have a scope that's read-only OAuth, but the plugin only gets access to the thread that's currently open when the user activates the plugin for that thread. That's exactly how it should work. There are still a couple features missing, we can build it without them but we're trying to work with Google to save some duplicated code on our backend.
