This looks like it was influenced by the Hub, a Node Knockout project with a landing page created by high school students that's been picking up steam on Twitter since last weekend. http://nodeknockout.com/teams/team-name-goes-here Both landing pages seem nice, and looks like a great way to test the idea out!

We hadn't seen this at all, so wasn't part of the influence to be honest. Trying to check it out now, but it's hanging on signup :(

Sorry to hear that :( I'm also one of the devs. If you are still having issues with authenticating you can check out a video and description about our service at http://nodeknockout.com/teams/team-name-goes-here

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I agree with this, but it's better than the alternative of signing up for a brand new username / password combo! What would you have in mind instead?

(Not parent or parent's parent) Email and password. It's not really better to be fair I can give a new service a disposable email address, I don't have a disposable Github/Facebook/Twitter/etc account. Not even a shred of a chance of me testing something if you're requesting anything other than the most basic of read-only permissions too

"I don't have a disposable Github/Facebook/Twitter/etc account."

Now there's a business idea: Mailinator for shady sites harvesting "social" accounts.

(Edit: I initially thought this was _from_ GitHub. Apparently it's not, so please disregard the nagging below. It is a cool idea, but if GitHub did this, I'd have different expectations.) I'd be all over this if it was an IRC server. Most big projects already have an IRC channel on FreeNode, so this'd be a natural fit: Provide an IRC server with a channel for each project, provide a free web client for this server wi…

Actually, FreeNode integration is something we've discussed quite a bit and could well end up in the product if there is enough interest in us putting it in. FreeNode is an incredible source of information and it would be a pity not to use it.

This would be the killer feature to add. Users should be able to communicate to freenode, and vice versa, while being able to do all of the management functions.
