I love this! "Login unsuccessful. Something went wrong: Error: api_calls exceeding plan authorized calls" when I went to log in with Twitter. Good problem for you to have, I look forward to you working this out so I can participate.

Honestly, I only signed up for Twitter to join Product Hunt. That was a huge disappointment when I found out that having an account didn't mean anything. This will be a pleasant change, it's about time.

They rely on OAuth.io [0] for something trivial as Twitter auth. I'm disappointed! The limits of the free service of OAuth.io [1] are ridiculously low, too.

[0] https://oauth.io/

[1] https://oauth.io/home/pricing

thank you! i thought it was twitter then your comment made me realize oauth.io was blocking us.

i'm dumb for using them but it did save time (i think). we'll remove it soon and go back to a more direct oauth strategy

Thanks for taking care of this so quickly!

Yeah it's quirky that both sites force use of a Twitter account.

Not defending it, but at the time they launched being able to seed from your Twitter social graph was a jetpack for improving the quality of experience, and vital to building relevant notifications on day 1.
