Just an FYI that I'm currently getting an error after signing up. When I click "New App," there's a modal popup that says, "In order to select an item from your online storage, please sign in." I click "Sign in" and another popup opens and closed immediately. I click it again and the same thing happens, but then the center modal is replaced with, "There was an error!

I'm sorry, but there are two seemingly redundant popups in our sign-up process right now. You have to auth via Google twice–once to sign up, and once to authorize Google Drive. This should be fixed this week.

I believe my issue is different. I wasn't seeing the normal Google auth screen; I signed-out to see if there was an account sync issue, and I can't seem to sign back in now. I click sign-in, the normal Google auth screen pops-up, I select my account, and the button in the bottom-left corner gets stuck on "Signing in..."

Thank you! We will add more options to customize the look of the apps. It's important to us not to overload users with fine-grained controls that require design expertise to get good-looking results, though.

That's an interesting point. As an app developer myself (so maybe not the target audience) I'd love to be able to change some aspects of it, even if it made things look "bad" as it would be a part of the fun/identity of the app. I'm not asking to adjust layout per-se (as that's more complex), but simply to manipulate fonts/colours etc. would be quite fun :) Anyways, glad it's on the roadmap! I'll keep an eye on it.

On Firefox private tab, clicking signup link on the bottom left of the page isn't working for me. It seems like a session storage issue. And some cors warning.

Thank you! Do you mean uploads from the app? What kinds of media are you interested in, specifically? Right now we don't handle that, but we'd love to learn more about what you need.

Basically just uploading a photo. I can definitely see that being a convenience I might pay for. My particular use case is just inventory - I want an app to take stock of where my inventory is, what condition it's in (hence the photo), a name, and if it expires, the expiry date.
