Whilst more passwords (and indeed more attempts to add ad-hoc features to HTML) are the last thing we need right now, a simpler answer to all of this (including hosts storing passwords insecurely) if we absolutely must stick with such a

Interestingly, the Privacy Policy[1], Terms of Service[2] and Imprint[3] are some of the most clearly worded I've come across anywhere! :) [1]: https://www.subtask.com/privacy [2]: https://www.subtask.com/terms [3]: https://www.subtask

My concern here is that if there is a restriction on what passwords can contain, how are they being stored? It seems concerning that between entering and hash/(b/s)crypt-ing passwords there would be any step which required these limitations

Strangely compelling, even. Something that almost seems as though it wouldn't be completely out of place in a production codebase (though you'd probably want to ensure that they were elided or at least renamed before shipping :P).

'All of this means that it doesn’t matter what an object’s lineage is, only what it can do at the moment.' This made me chuckle for reasons entirely unrelated to JavaScript and prototypal inheritance. :)

It's a search form. It seems quite possible that CSRF checks could have been omitted in not expecting this to be a source of woe. Just goes to show... :P

This struck me as a surprisingly mature way of shutting down such a service - certainly more palatable than expecting all users to export... Pasting the original e-mail here seemed the best way to avoid the subtle 'interpretations' of conte

Or... you can pay $7/mo, given that as a nom-student you can probably afford that much? :P

Thanks for the thought - good call. All I'd worry about is proper distribution of tasks to alleviate privacy concerns. Also, I'm not in the US, but shrug to that. ;)

Popularity, yes. I'd argue it largely comes from amateurish developers, though. It can be used at scale, of course[1] but surely it's popularity is as a result of the hordes of amateur developers and shoddy PHP apps, hacks, script reposit

This seems rather unlikely (hyperbole, to be frank) - those using Kickstarter are surely aware of the nature of the platform, not thinking of it as a checkout. Unless the refund process is unduly complex, there doesn't seem to be an obvious
