Comment on Show HN: Upboat, idea validation with a twistparent

I just need enough permissions to know that you have > 0 repos, public or private. I didn't see anything between just-email and all-the-things in their oauth docs, but I might've missed something while rushing through. Do you know otherwise?

No, but even read only access to private repos is a problem. A lot of that code belongs to my employer and I can't in good conscience grant access to it even if I want to.

I'm not sure why having an empty account is something you care to filter on. If someone really wants to pretend to be a dev, forcing them to click "Create new repo" before they sign up isn't going to provide much of a barrier. You're already basically taking them at their word so I'd recommend just dropping the requirement.

You, sir, are the voice of reason. I'm pushing an update now that removes those conditions.
