Please please please, let me create an account without having to jump through silly hoops like OpenID or Twitter. Your little website just isn't compelling enough for me to do that. I want to try it though, just to give you some feedback. Please let me create a simple login so that I can do so.
And you have Gmail right? Then you have an openid account.

Yup we will be expanding the site soon. We built the site in 48 hours for the Rails Rumble competition. We kept it light as we could. After the judging and voting we will be adding in more features and options for login :) Although we think using Twitter or OAuth is the easiest way. 1 Auth and your email address, thats it. Thanks for your feedback.
How could implementing OpenID and OAuth for Twitter be faster to implement than a User table? Certainly you've built web apps before, and therefore have a login workflow that you can rip out and drop into a new site in the first 5 minutes of development? One other thing you're missing is that as a new user of your thing, I don't trust you enough to hand across my twitter username or openID. I'm more than happy to cre…
1) When you authenticate with Twitter or OpenID its all done on Twitter or your OpenID providers site. We cant snoop your credentials at all, you dont enter it on our site. 2) Sure authentication is an easy feature but this way we dont need to ask you for your details again, you let us talk to your service and use your existing information. 3) You can kick us off from your Twitter account from Twitter itself and at any time, see Connections section under settings.
Some people might be conscious about us being able to access your Twitter or OpenID information but its mostly available to the world on these services anyway. OAuth (which is the underlying technology behind this authentication) is being used more and more. It's much better and safer for end users, its just that initial hurdle to get mass adoption. Its the end users decision if they trust the site or not. Most people have trusted us today :)
We cant make any changes to the app whilst its being judged, not one line of code. I do agree that we should look at implementing a base user signup sans-OAuth provider but we cant do anything until Rails Rumble has been judged and voted. It was a 48 hour coding competition with many other developers around the world, see www.railsrumble.com

I agree that might be the case but actually the Twitter and OpenID authentication is much safer. 1) When you authenticate with Twitter or OpenID its all done on Twitter or your OpenID providers site.

So when you say "Give me your Twitter username and password", they'll say no. It doesn't matter that it's actually safe. It certainly doesn't sound safe, and that's all that matters.
Argue against it at your own peril. People are comfortable with user/pass.
Price would be useful to have. It looks like the front page asks non-free spaces to mention that clearly in the description, but browsing through, the descriptions are pretty vague on that. Clicking through to the sites, it looks like they range from a person or small company with some spare desks they're willing to let you use free, to dedicated commercial spaces charging $20-30/day to rent. Those are pretty differe…
We completely agree. We are currently discussing the best way to do this
Right side can be reformatted to present more information.
So something like "20 @ $30" would be useful.

OpenID is easier than having to register for each site. And you have Gmail right? Then you have an openid account.
In exchange for that single extra input box, OpenID forces a longer login process every time you use a site. The breakeven point where user/pass starts beating OpenID in terms of convenience happens at visit number two.

Interesting. I wonder if that is Modernizer.js doing that without us realising it. What browser/OS are you using? I'll see if I can replicate it. On Chrome/OS X I never get asked.
Safari/OS X. You have to set "None allowed before asking" in Security if you want to be informed before a db is established. The issue is not that there is a message, it's that it's alarming to have a db set up without an obvious reason for it. I guess I don't really care though. I am right about the user interface problems, but since your folks are slamming the downvote button as fast as they can in response to usef…
Why are you complaining about "thinly recessed semi-transparent ovaloids"? Is that just another way of saying you don't like the rounded buttons? Why put it that way?
It's pretty intuitive to see which is a search area (obvious magnifying glass icon) and which are navigation buttons. Saying that it's a "terrible terrible" interface because of that is a bit excessive.
Thanks for trying to give feedback to them but try not to be so mean and make accusations like them conspiring to downvote you.
The idea is cute, but I assume there's some kind of QC available for verifying links? Otherwise you're literally begging to be overwhelmed by griefers at this stage.
There's one location listed in Hollywood, CA, with an address listing of 'hollywood': http://desksnear.me/workplaces/7-fortress-of-solitude The idea is cute, but I assume there's some kind of QC available for verifying links?

Yup, Keith created that. Its a test record. Because we created this for a coding competition we need people to be able to judge the site and make bookings without actually making a real life booking.
Makes sense if it's a submission like that. I really like the idea and would 100% use a service like this were it populated well. Best of luck!
