Some examples would be neat. Though, even if I was interested I'm not using Google or Facebook, so I guess I can't partake. Congrats regardless :)

  Same, no way I am letting a random app go through all my stuff for some novelty purpose. Maybe it doesn't go through things? Maybe it isn't novelty? Who knows, the website isn't indicative of anything at all.

    For what it's worth, the login pop-up served by Google or Facebook describes what kind of data will be shared with the app, so you can make a conscious decision.

This is an unassuming request for valuable user data. Any informed user would refuse to give out their account information to a service like this. This encourages unsafe behavior with regards to personal privacy.

  I totally agree. It's like theses quiz used by Cambridge Analytica to know who celebrity are you. Why not use a more privacy friendy system? Like just use your email or generate a uniq link to share with your friends.

I often wish that "Show HN" posts followed the same format as "Launch HN". I think it would be more beneficial for both the community seeing the product as well as the showcasing party. Posts where there is detailed information about the project, who is behind it, how it started, etc., and maybe some contact info. Even the tiniest percentage of this information would be more helpful. This is the second time in as many days I clicked a Show HN link and had no idea what I was looking at. The first was the nearest volcano site from yesterday; the page did nothing without location access.

You have to grant permissions on Google to read the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy. Hard no.

  The TOS and Privacy Policy are in the home page. At least on mobile. Still, not signing up to them because I don’t have a Google or Facebook account.

Kudos on launching but HN may not be the right platform to showcase a tool that offers a cryptic explanation of what it does and then requires the keys to the kingdom to try it out. I think a video showing the tool in action, or even a few screenshots and couple blurbs, would go a long way to convincing a person to use it (if they're interested).

> The social login only access your name, profile image, and email address. The oneline is based on only that? Sounds like being very random

Just curious if this note[0] was already there before or your just added it after receiving criticism... [0] "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. ️"
- onelinerme 7y ago
  Lol it was already there. I do love critical feedback.:)
