I just tried to sign up.

I granted permissions to the app via GitHub, then I get:

Internal Server Error

Now, however, if I click on the "Sign Up" button on your homepage (http://team-name-goes-here.2013.nodeknockout.com/), it sends me to:

http://team-name-goes-here.2013.nodeknockout.com/auth/github...

and the same page simply saying:

Internal Server Error

So it seems that Github obviously granted something to your app, but now it's broken for me? It would be nice to try this out.

On another note - some screenshots on your homepage would also be nice.

So, first things first: Get yourself a domain name. Second, why do you need Write access to anything? You're team chat, with some notification power. Giving you access to write on not just my repos, but the repos of my organizations, is a pretty big "Hell no" without there being a company there, some names, or(and no offense here, Ross), someone I can properly sue if the shit really hits the fan. This isn't so much a…

We definitely plan on getting a domain once the hackathon is over and we have some time to relax and really plan this out :)

As I mentioned earlier, you have nothing to worry about - we don't touch your repos! Unfortunately the read permissions we need are classified as "write" (or at least we couldn't find a way to specify them as "read" in our very limited time).

Once everything settles down we are going to think about ways to make it easier for people to use and trust the service so that they don't need to worry about permissions or anything like that.

Thanks so much for your input, we'll definitely take it into account!

We've been getting lots of traffic so this is caused by the GitHub rate limit being exceeded. Try again soon!

Hopefully we can negotiate a way to be whitelisted by GitHub so these issues do not occur.

> Team Chat That Doesn't Suck IRC? I use IRC for all sorts of purposes and audiences, there are tens ifnot hundreds of implementations that are being actively maintained, and it's been a standard for decades. How does that suck? Edit: Oh they mention "Like IRC, but smarter", where smarter is a link. Let's see about that. > Know who's seen any message. Facebook does this. It more annoys me than anything else, but I ca…

I believe you got this from gitter.im - that is a very similar idea (likely a ripoff of ours) which is nothing more than a concept and design. We build a rough working prototype.

i don't know what your thing does. its blocked by a login or leave forever page set.

other guys show what they have. check your stats - how many unique come to the front page, click around aimlessly hoping to get somewhere, then never come back.

IRC doesn't have the same level of deep integration with GitHub and ease-of-use that Hub has.

Sure, but neither does a silicon wafer make it easy to do arithmetic. What does your app do that a GitHub-aware IRC bot cannot?

It's prettier and it has more hype? :P

This was put together in just 48 hours - once the dust settles we'll really think of a better way to attract users to the service and better explain what we do.

You can watch a quick video and read a description of the service at http://nodeknockout.com/teams/team-name-goes-here

I see. What protocol are you running anyway, proprietary and closed or can I write my own client?
