Does NewsBlur offer an authentication API? I'm leery of giving you the password to my NewsBlur account, since that's like handing you the keys to the castle.

- davidjohnstone 13y agoUnfortunately not. I completely understand your reluctance at entering your password, although I can assure you that I'm neither looking at nor saving passwords (and the same goes for emails/usernames, for that matter).
- flipchart 13y agoWould be great if you offered an SSL version of the site. Then I wouldn't feel so bad having my password sent in plain text. Are you considering open sourcing this? People could then run it locally without the fear of having their passwords exposed to 3rd parties
- davidjohnstone 13y agoI wish Heroku didn't charge $20/month for SSL... Yes, I'm planning on open sourcing it. I just have a couple of things to do, and a couple of comments to add.
- flipchart 13y agoNo worries, it's a pity about the charges. I really love the what you've done and for me, my RSS readings are not that big a deal to secure. Thanks very much for putting in the effort and (when you do) open sourcing it!
