Show HN: I made a tool that adds two-step verification to websites or apps

Hello!

I just made my first web app with Sinatra. It is a REST API that helps people add two-step verification to their websites or apps. I am a complete noob in web development so please criticize me and let me know how shitty this whole thing is. :)

Just a heads up, you're still using Webrick. Looks good though!

I am sorry I am pretty new to rails. What's bad about using Webrick? I thought it is the default.

When you use the sign up form, why do you use a GET? This should be a POST.

It's POST.

Ah yeah, you do a redirect with the ?message param.

Why not store this in a session?

I totally should. Didn't give it much thought when I made it.

This looks good! Will be helpful! Thanks, great job!

Thank you :)

Thanks! This is awesome!

Thanks! Did you find anything unpleasant? Anything that I could work on?

It would be nice if the email could be modified, but that's just a small thing. Or a custom message.

What language did you use, if you don't mind my asking?

I am sorry but what do you mean by modified email? I used sinatra(http://www.sinatrarb.com/) to build the web service and ruby for back-end. It is hosted on heroku. :)
