Signups may be slow as long as the app is requesting unnecessarily broad OAuth access to signees' Twitter accounts:
"This application will be able to: read Tweets from your timeline; see who you follow, and follow new people; update your profile; post Tweets for you."
- Harj 15y agoTwitter only seems to give you three options to choose from: Read, Read and Write, Read and Write and access direct messages. I used Read and Write for this app. Is there a way to be more granular and just request permission to tweet and is that going to have a notable effect on the speed of the app?
- arto 15y agoI meant 'slow' as in 'slow to trickle in', not as in 'performant'. Concretely: I love the idea, would gladly have our startup sign the pledge, but I'm not enthused about giving a third party that level of access to the company's Twitter account. I imagine many others will feel the same way, and more so the larger the company, which could be counterproductive. Perhaps you might consider accepting pledges with alternate means as well; the existing signees presumably didn't use the Twitter app for it.
