Earlier quoted context omitted.

Only twitter account means I can't login/signup (I don't have a twitter account).

Then sign up for one then. Or don't sign up for OpenHunt. It's really that easy.

My bad, I thought they were looking for feedback.

Why twitter, though? It doesn't look like twitter is doing too well recently.

I will definitely use this over ProductHunt. I mean, for crying out loud, I signed up for PH just now to leave a comment and the first thing you get is "commenting is restricted to those users invited by others in the community". Yeah, so I have to supplicate myself to some random Internet stranger and beg permission just to comment on your site? Not happening...

I'm onboard as well!

I signed up for Product Hunt more than a year ago and still do not have commenting access. My product was submitted by someone and featured even! And I wasn't able to respond or interact with the "community" in any way.

Or instead of forcing users add Facebook, Google and LinkedIn if you want for people to use social login. You can always use one of the social login api like OneAll.

I love this! "Login unsuccessful. Something went wrong: Error: api_calls exceeding plan authorized calls" when I went to log in with Twitter. Good problem for you to have, I look forward to you working this out so I can participate. Honestly, I only signed up for Twitter to join Product Hunt. That was a huge disappointment when I found out that having an account didn't mean anything. This will be a pleasant change, i…

Yeah it's quirky that both sites force use of a Twitter account.

I’m in the first 3k users and still can’t comment. I was able to submit stuff at the beginning but they quickly limited this functionality to some group of users.
