The Facebook login feature isn't working with the API. Getting massive headache emails now. Luckily we have lots of alternative login methods.

I hope people will see the importance of not putting all of your eggs in one authentication basket.

I use it in production. You will always have 404's and this is what I feel to be a meaningful 404.

samdunne··on Mastering Modern Payments: Using Stripe with Rails
No problem at all. The HTML version works just fine and I prefer HTML versions to PDF's anyway.

Looks fantastic for what it's worth! :)

I signed up my project. But the form seems to be the standard form you guys use for everything else. There were no fields for the specifics that are defined on the open source page.

I think it would be clearer if you had a slightly customised form for the process

samdunne··on Flat UI was Released - Framework for Designers and Developers,based on Bootstrap

I much prefer Almost flat UI such as Gmail and http://websymphony.net/almost-flat-ui
