I think your github oauth request is a bit broad:
The app Upboat will be able to:
* Read your public information.
* Read your private email addresses.
* Update your public and private repositories (Commits, Issues, etc).
I'd like to register myself as a dev, but I'm not going to agree to those terms. No offense, but you need to do a lot more to justify why you want write access to my github account.
- neoveller 13y agoI just need enough permissions to know that you have > 0 repos, public or private. I didn't see anything between just-email and all-the-things in their oauth docs, but I might've missed something while rushing through. Do you know otherwise?
- vec 13y agoNo, but even read only access to private repos is a problem. A lot of that code belongs to my employer and I can't in good conscience grant access to it even if I want to. I'm not sure why having an empty account is something you care to filter on. If someone really wants to pretend to be a dev, forcing them to click "Create new repo" before they sign up isn't going to provide much of a barrier. You're already basically taking them at their word so I'd recommend just dropping the requirement.
- neoveller 13y agoYou, sir, are the voice of reason. I'm pushing an update now that removes those conditions.
