"login with facebook" "Sorry"

[eropple]

It needs a social graph to do what it does. Do you have a better option for that than Facebook?

[MarkIceberg]

This is what is scaring away most of the site visitors. Each permission has a reason for being asked for: "&scope=email,friends_about_me,user_about_me"

email: to notify you when a match is found. an access_token grants us knowledge of only the users email and not his friends'. This cannot be used for viral email harvesting.

friends_about_me: To seperate views based on gender.

user_about_me: to help decide which view is to be "initially " displayed based on the users' gender.

Why do you need to segregate based on gender, anyway? Boys can crush on boys, and girls can crush on girls. If they discover that they are a mutual crush, why deny them the fun?

If you really want to filter views, let the user make a explicit decision to filer view based on gender, using a drop-down menu or something.

[MarkIceberg]

Thats to load the initial view. You can toggle between genders very conviniently. Wouldnt be a good idea to load the entire friendslist in one go.

[jnbiche]

Ah ok, fair enough. I figured you were using it to make only girls available to boys, and vice versa.

Still, if that permission is giving you problems because of people's reactions, just showing the entire friend list (with paging, of course) may not be a bad idea.

There comes a point where you're going overboard about privacy.

[jnbiche]

Huh? My comment was regarding same sex crushes, not privacy.

[iancarroll]

I don't know what I was thinking when I posted this.

[kall]

And that point is same sex crushes?

[MarkIceberg]

We dont limit you to same sex crushes. There is a toggle button to switch between genders

[MarkIceberg]

You can save crushes on person of either gender.
