Hello!

I just made my first web app with Sinatra. It is a REST API that helps people add two-step verification to their websites or apps. I am a complete noob in web development so please criticize me and let me know how shitty this whole thing is. :)

When you use the sign up form, why do you use a GET? This should be a POST.

Just a heads up, you're still using Webrick. Looks good though!

Ah yeah, you do a redirect with the ?message param.

Why not store this in a session?

I am sorry I am pretty new to rails. What's bad about using Webrick? I thought it is the default.
