Show HN: Gitter – Chat for GitHub

You win the prize! :) Was hoping someone would find that. It looks awesome in Sublime text edit in the preview panel on the top right.

Hm, "signing up" by providing read-only OAuth access to my GitHub account is... fascinating. :-)

Very clever way to make signups easy, relevant to the interest you're trying to gauge, and gather far more information about me than just my e-mail address (eg. my activity level on GitHub, the type of projects I'm involved in).

That's a great idea, wish we'd thought of it. We'll share the learnings afterwards on @GitChat.

Error:

Guess it's built with node ;)

After pressing the button again, it gave me the confirmation message.

The landing page looks really slick. I was wondering, how did you create the design for it? I'm a programmer and my web design skills are limited to installing bootstrap, and I'm always fascinated, how would you come up with right color/font/layout matching
