8 hours after you post and this is your first response. Not only that but the site isnt being moderated and you have tons of garbage posted. You're not respecting the HN community by dumping your Show HN post and then disappearing. You're getting the time and attention from hundreds, if not thousands, of people. Don't just dump your Show HN post and disappear. Edit: my use of the word "crap" and crud reaction was in…

The reason why I wasn't responding for 8 hours is that I felt asleep after I published the app (it was 3 a.m. here). Also, my previous posts didn't draw so much attention so I thought I'd better gather (and respond to) the feedback next morning rather than refreshing this page every 5 min. I've deleted all the junk that was there before and I just updated the website with Facebook sign in (mandatory for those posting…

While I agree with what is in the posts you provided (some of my friends actually don't post any pictures or "cat videos" on Facebook because they don't want their potential employers to see them from the "bad" side), I think you're maybe missing a point here. Haltura is meant to be used for one-time jobs only and so there's most likely no harm if your employer sees your drunk pictures on Facebook while he/she only needs you to cut his/her the grass in her garden.

Facebook authentication was made primarily for convenience and also to help preventing spam. But of course I might be wrong by exposing peoples' names and links to their Facebook profiles (e.g. I could also allow users to choose the username which will be displayed throughout the website). Thanks for the feedback, I will think about it!
