Why do I need to grant access to my GitHub account to view a tutorial?

Sorry about that! You shouldn't need to be logged in to Github to view a tutorial on a public repo. Can you try again now? We've fixed this and just pushed a fix!

Nope still needs login

Still asking for Github permissions for me (to view a demo / example) - without it I have no idea what this is. Even screenshots or something there would give an idea.

Sorry about that - looks like we are getting rate limited by Github. We are moving our tutorial over to Gitlab to avoid this issue.

Great idea on the screenshots! We are adding that in now.

Seems like we're getting rate limited by Github -- we're switching over our example to Gitlab right now which should fix the issue

Update: The rate limiting issues should be resolved.

Echoing everyone’s requests that asking for Github permissions is a bit extreme, but I’m very excited for this idea so please upload screenshots!

Just added some screenshots to our landing page. Thanks for the feedback!

Yes. This reeks of desperation. Wanting to get whatever details or credentials you can from users to spam them later.

Absolutely not. I'll live without it. Thanks.

Turns out we’re getting rate limited by GitHub, we’re working on fixing this so you can view an example without having to login. Sorry about that.
