Hi Xb95, we first removed the heroku add-on and thought that it would automatically destroy the database, but that turned out not to be the case. So what we did to fix the issue was purge all of the tables from the database. Now the credentials still work, but they reach an empty database without any content. We're working on revoking the access token for all affected users right now. Thanks for helping us through th…
I have confirmed that there is no longer any data in the database I can connect to. Thank you for taking care of this.
/xb95 rides off into the sunset.

I guess I don't understand why they even need to store anything on their servers?
Hi bdittmer, we don't store any of your content, nor any of your passwords. We only store meta data that describes the organization of your documents and do so server-side so that we can add features in an upcoming release that we otherwise wouldn't be unable to add.
You need to be way more transparent about what you're storing and why - a native client app implies nothing in the middle.

If they're legit, why are they not using oAuth?
We are using Google's oauth2 protocol. No user password is stored or even ever transmitted to our server.
Since you are framing in the login with webkit, why not show the URL as well? User's need to see htts://google.com or they'll assume it's a phishing attack.

How is this actually any more secure? It's pretty easy to display a legit (but "fake") URL while your phishing form is displayed in the webview.

#76This is awesome. Navigating Google Docs is the worst. But PLEASE do away with the preview mode. I don't want to have to click edit all the time, and I don't really lose anything by just always having the web view.
That and get a nicer app icon :p (seriously)

At least for spreadsheets get rid of it. I could see it being nice to remove all the junk chrome that Google puts around docs though. But if I'm viewing a spreadsheet, not being able to add to cells is useless.

Got it. You guys should read up on iCloud :)

#79I know that this isn't really related to the application, but anyway... Please, don't let the browser scale the images for you. I don't like opening a site, and seeing something like this ( http://sadpanda.us/images/1078451-DUYING8.png ). Beside that, this client seems something really awesome, especially the ability to easily edit docs from different accounts.
What browser are you using? I thought modern browsers did a better job of scaling. Chrome does, at least.
Firefox. Yes, it's a know problem and there is already a patch, but as always is taking forever to get approved.
And yes, Chrome do a better job, but still it doesn't look totally right.

Firefox uses a faster(worse) scaling algorithm than Chrome. Besides, it consumes extra bandwidth for 97% of users.
