That's the default lowest level of oAuth access and it's just read-only.

Fixed, looks like UserVoice changed their widget code today and it broke our integration. Thanks ever so much for pointing this out.

We hadn't seen this at all, so wasn't part of the influence to be honest. Trying to check it out now, but it's hanging on signup :(

Looks like some Chrome change may have effected the UserVoice widget we use.

Would you mind telling me if it works ok for you in Safari if you have it?

Hmmm, we shouldn't need that. Will take a look. You can always signup and then revoke the access if you're not comfortable.

Thanks for pointing out.

+1 for finding it :) you should check it out in sublime text in the little preview strip they have on the right column, it looks awesome there.

How odd, thanks for reporting, will look into it right now. Was working just fine earlier today.

killswitch, what's your username, i'll sort this out for you

mike at troupe dot co btw

Is that Matt of Haraka fame?

Thanks for much for the compliment, you made my day.

There's not much to say really. It's just pretty vanilla jQuery and then I code the CSS/HTML by hand. I use a few Bootstrap components, but where possibly I try to craft everything myself. I think that helps to keep it simple, if you start throwing a lot of components together you end up with a mess rather than having to put the effort in yourself and, as your time is a precious resource, you think more about what's important and what's not.

Sorry, I know that's not very helpful!

We normally don't do this, we put this little preview app together quite quickly using a slightly different infrastructure to our regular stuff.

We normally log these and just display a friendly error message to the end user.

Ah no, that was just shotted off my local development environment.

Take a look at our current product, it's not directly tied to GitHub, but has webhook integration (with BitBucket, Travis, Jenkins too).

We'll need to sweat some details on Gitter, so hard to say on the timing. We may fuse the two concepts together, so it will be more about product-related decisions than development time as we have a lot of the code already.

Feel free to give us feedback on Troupe so we can loop that into the future direction of this product.

That wasn't the intention at all, it was more to save you having to type those details in again. Sorry if you felt wronged by it.

We're developers ourselves and value our privacy too/

As long as it's not Pound coins. Those things are heavy!

Thanks for the feedback. Our Clickstarter (tm?) is doing quite nicely. I don't think we'll need to Kickstarter it, we've actually built a lot of the tech anyway and could put this together pretty quickly and start charging too.

Hi!

We're using a huge amount of open source components ourselves and are actively contributing back to those projects. James Coglan's Faye is a great example of this where we've been working with James to get it to V1.

The approach we'll take for our own work is certainly to open source some of the components rather than the entire system. We're big believers in giving back, but at the same time we ned to protect our own business.

Thanks, was hoping someone would find that easter egg. Got to have a little fun along the journey!

Hi. No it's purely testing a concept. Lean product development process in full swing.

We tried to make that clear in the text above the signup button, sorry if we mislead you that wasn't the intention.

We're trying to gauge interest before investing heavily in the product.

Hi. Thanks so much.

I do everything "in the browser" these days. No Photoshop, just straight HTML/CSS/JS in Sublime Text. That way the site starts to feel alive pretty quickly and then I just tweak stuff around until I'm happy with it.

Colours... Sometimes I use http://flatuicolors.com/ as a starting point and then tweak it from there.

Also keep looking around at stuff on Dribble/Behance/Pinterest for inspiration. Some good guys to follow on Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/robklaiss/uiux/ http://www.pinterest.com/alexhyett/ui-ux-inspiration/ http://www.pinterest.com/wkk711/mobile-ui-ux/

Hope that's helpful.

Yes, node node node! :)

Um, thanks for pointing this out, will take a look at it, we may have blown through the rate limit.

That's a great idea, wish we'd thought of it. We'll share the learnings afterwards on @GitChat.

You win the prize! :) Was hoping someone would find that. It looks awesome in Sublime text edit in the preview panel on the top right.

Hey, thanks for the improvement. Done. Shipped like squirrel.

Why don't you like the idea of signing up with GitHub? Feedback will be very valuable for us, thanks.

Ah, yes on that too! Sorry, didn't mean to leave you guys out.

Hey there. We'll absolutely consider how non-technical folks can engage with this. Our current product, Troupe (http://trou.pe) is more along these lines, with GitHub webhooks integration.

We may look to fuse the concepts so that it works brilliantly for both the developers and the rest of the company too.

Thanks for the support. We'll be absolutely sure to have a useful free tier as well as a paid offering.

Oh, we'll have awesome emotigifs(tm?) and will certainly look at baking Hubot right in.

Thanks for your feebdack.

We've got a lot of the parts of this already built, just not packaged in this format.

We're trying to see how much support there would be for a product like this. If we get a lot of "signups" we'll get cracking immediately.

Comments/feedback more than welcome.

Thanks in advance for your support.

We wrote up this tutorial for a presentation at LNUG on how to create realtime collections on Backbone.js using James Coglan's excellent Faye.

The article covers step-by-step how to go about doing this and also references a demonstration as well as a public repo on GitHub where you can download and try it out for yourself.

Enjoy! Would be great to hear your feedback as we hope to give back a lot more to the community on how to build realtime applications in Node.js. Would also be interested to hear on different approches that others are using.
