I like git, I like RSS, I like only having to do markdown. I don't like paying for something that I'll have to keep paying for (mysubdomain.git.ht) if i want to keep my presence (like on a domain I already own but migrated to something else after i get sick of markdown in a couple of years). Another thing: > This application will be able to read and write your public and *secret* gists.

Author here. This needs to be prominent. Paying for subscription at least once prevents subdomain from ever being put back in the available pool. If you subscribe but then cancel your subscription on Stripe portal, it'll run until the end of current subscription period. After that, the system will stop fetching new hoots, but it'll continue to serve the last state of RSS feed and the subdomain will remain in your possession. I'm not evil and not about to break the links for everyone :) Yeah, this really needs to be put somewhere prominent. App has no need of seeing your secret gists, but sadly Github oauth app scopes aren't granular enough. I'll only be too happy to not take on any more responsibility than I have to.

  To read public gists, do you even need oauth? Why not just pull all the public gists using your own GitHub api key? You don’t need the author to login at all with a GitHub scope.

  What if you go out of business? Or I really want to move my blog to another platform? The captive ecosystem aspect is a little "evil".
