I see a button to sign in with Twitter, but nothing to tell me what--if anything--you will do with any data you obtain from Twitter or from observing my activities using your application. I suggest you put your privacy policy right on the front page. If it's privacy-positive, I'd brag about it, e.g. "We'll never share your data with 419 scammers."
