Why do you want me to sign in with Google?
There's no free lunch. The OAuth providers are, on balance, pretty good at what they do and a better choice for account management at small sites. This one happened to pick Google.

I choose Google because I didn't want to worry about email verification, salting, key derivation functions, etc.

You would prefer Facebook or Twitter? Or that they implement yet another authentication scheme and store their own accounts and credential database? There's no free lunch.

Yes, either this or openid. I don't have an account at google. I don't want an account at google. While it's a lower barrier than a facebook login, it's still enough that I'll bounce off the site when I see it.
Fun idea, but doesn't seem to recognize non-US keyboard layouts.

Well done on the NoScript front. It's rare to see a site on HN that requires JS and falls back to a nice explanation of why it needs JS (Instead of just stating the fact, or worse, displaying a white page).
I'm glad someone noticed! I hope you whitelisted typing.io in noscript:)
I just checked my comment history and about 50% of my comments have been related to this issue. This is the first one that is complimentary.
The message google gives when trying to log in is really poor: "A third party service is requesting permission to access your Google Account.Please select an account that you would like to use."
