   100% agree that this is a problem. And no silver bullet solution. Product Hunt actually took a perfectly reasonable approach to this (heavy curation), but Open Hunt exists in order to try to tackle the problem using a different path. We hav

    fixed! my own boneheaded error. twitter was fine, but the hosted oauth provider we used wanted money before it would work

    thank you! i thought it was twitter then your comment made me realize oauth.io was blocking us. i'm dumb for using them but it did save time (i think). we'll remove it soon and go back to a more direct oauth strategy

    we are! much appreciated twitter only login is going away soon

    We use oauth.io as a hosted service to handle to interchange. I've been using them for years and believe them to be trustworthy. It probably makes sense to switch off them in due time (since it's just one more dependency). But it

    fixing this ASAP. thanks for the heads up tracked via https://github.com/OpenHunting/openhunt/issues/13

    Agreed. We'll probably add comments (in addition to private feedback for product owners). Just need a bit of time. Maybe by monday? ;)

    Sorry, looks like a bug. I'll log it in github issues and try to repro. Can you email me at jacques@openhunt.co? I'll reach out with questions if I hit snags trying to repro it. Thanks for the heads up!

    good suggestion! I'll create a github issue for it
19. 229.▲
    by jacquesc 11y ago

    Since anyone can submit a product (not necessarily their own), we are adding a verification step (email to [any]@yourdomain.com). We'll have other verification steps as well to make those feedback items available.

    oops, i forgot to mention the real reason: lack of time for v1 :) adding a real commenting system is on the table for sure, ill create a github issue for it and we can discuss with the community about pros/cons
21. 231.▲
    by jacquesc 11y ago

    yep, that's definitely on the table. its a community run project, so please add a github issue and we can start the discussion about pros/cons
22. 232.▲
    by jacquesc 11y ago

    Agreed! As mentioned in the FAQ ( http://openhunt.co/faq ), we intend to rename the site (and use the community to decide on the real name).

    If it gets to the point where it needs revenue to handle the hosting bill, it'll be organized as a non-profit and the community will decide how to handle things (via ads or whatever else).

    Oops, that's a mistake. We meant to do read only. Fixing now

    by jacquesc 11y ago

    Thanks for the feedback. Can you elaborate? We'd like to build something sustainable, and to start that just means building the community. Monetization concerns would be an open question that I think the community could decide on later

    2 reasons initially: - prevent too much spam, moderation workload - encourage honest (harsh) feedback that the product owner can take action on. also if the same feedback comes in twice from 2 diff people, thats a great indicator. public co

    This has to be the next Frog Fractions. Right? Just a guess. Apologies if I'm actually right and I spoil it for anyone. EDIT: nope, not frog fractions. Got my hopes up. We'll find it somewhere.

    Thanks for the link! Yeah, the custom google map tiles on the OP could be great but it takes 10sec to load whenever scrolling around. Hopefully they can get some CDN image hosting.

    Not limited to iPad Pro. I've stopped buying apps from App Store after wasting hundreds over the years on stuff that looks good but ends up too buggy and I uninstall a week later (after paying for). Also rebuying the full 2.0 version o
