Hacker News Reader

sorry, if I have to spam my facebook contacts to start doing something, I'm not going to use it.

I expect hacker news readers to take this line. However most non-techies tell me this is the feature they love most about the app. I guess different things work for different people

I also really want to use this app - it's like the Seinfeld calendar - but the Facebook login turned me away.

I can understand, though, how this would be a selling point for 'normal' people.

Is there anyway to turn off the 'tell everyone on facebook about this' feature if I login using my FB account?

Yes, this is a very much requested change, so I'm going to move it to top of my list

I just created a MailChimp list so if you sign up (http://eepurl.com/caXRn) I will send out a newsletter when its done

sorry I was unclear I guess. I don't mind having the _option_ to do it, even if it's the default and I have to opt out of it., I'd be maybe happy to shout "I have been x-ing for a month".

But if I _have_ to, I will not do it.
