But you require scripts from a lot of 3rd parties, which may or may not respect my privacy.

Maybe consider using a CDN or hosting necessary scripts on your server?

All scripts are on Cloudfront except for when someone shares a YouTube video or Twitter tweet. Google Analytics and Typekit are the only third-party scripts that are always loaded. I do need to add UI to allow users to disable these.

I had to accept a script from platform.twitter.com before I could close the SignIn/Register modal. Here's a short gif.

The app looks great though :)

Thanks for reporting this! Yes, apparently the Twitter script is always loaded also. I need to add logic to only load it when needed.
