Thumbs down for the twitter login.

Recent ideas should be more prominent. Probably show the latest ten on the main page, then a link for more.

Plus a huge (red) button to pitch a new idea in the front page.

I didn't terribly mind having to use Twitter for signup.

As soon as you asked for my email AS WELL, I could no longer be bothered to click through - the only value of 3rd-party login is not having to give you my email address.

Why does a website need to do this?

    Read Tweets from your timeline.
    See who you follow, and follow new people.
    Update your profile.
    Post Tweets for you.
I just want to view and list projects.
I have no idea why this is required. Why add friction to posting? Email + password + confirm password seems like the best idea, with Twitter as a separate option.
I like the Twitter login. Just a data point.
