I think I'm able to view all other gists.
If I open the Gist on https://gist.github.com/ then go to the original gist at 'kobble-git/channel-groups.json' I can navigate to all the forks and see data for other users.

And each fork is a link to a secret gist.
Everyone - revoke access to the app and manually delete all the gists it created in your account.
To view anyone's notes, all you have to do is visit https://gist.github.com/kobble-git/87ea625d421177f9e9307c6ce..., click anyone's "View fork", then follow the trail of gist links in the JSON.
One way is as a content sharing platform. Gists are great for this purpose, because as you have noted, the discovery mechanisms are largely built into GitHub. Our use of gists for this purpose was entirely intentional. On top of that, we have built a flexible data model (similar to YouTube) for organizing and sharing the content. We are attempting to build an open content sharing platform where users have control over the data.
For note taking, obviously you want private access. We will have support for private repos very shortly. This was stated in the intros, and we have improved the wording to make it clearer.
Hope this helps.
This is not users misunderstanding how gists work.
Furthermore, your clarification: "Currently, Kobble stores all user data in secret GitHub Gists, under your account. Secret gists are not private." does not help because it does not explicitly state the fact that notes will be readable by anyone on the internet.
