Hey HN. I've been seeing a pretty awesome girl for the last couple of weeks, and wanted to send her a series of notes. To that end, I wrote an ephemeral messaging system using Sinatra + Redis that authenticates her ID against Facebook and will show her a new message every day. Each message disappears from the public web once its day has passed. I've released the code on Github; you can use it to display any sequence…

Not sure if this was done on purpose, but if you click on sign in with facebook and then hit cancel on the facebook dialog box, the card still opens... just a heads up.

Thanks for the note! Definitely intentional: the callback comes back, but since there's no user ID, you hit the vanilla callback page. (Basically, I wanted to make sure that everybody would have the card open... it's just the messages that are private)

... except if Facebook is firewalled at your workplace. It's OK, I also can't play Jurassic Park Builder. I'm used to it.
