me.html is giving me a 302 redirect to the home page. Am I missing something?

If you're already authenticated then it redirects to your profile page.

Okay, should give you a message now if you're anon.

Nice, that's a little less confusing. :-)

Just as a heads-up: Google "gittip minimum raised from" or search Twitter for the same (http://twitter.com/#!/search/gittip%20minimum%20raised%20fro...) ... there's a collective audience of tens of thousands of people, any of whom could be seeing Gittip for the first time from this submission. Linking to a blog post, even a very brief one, might be better for picking up new interest in the future.

I feel like I'm being a pain in the ass between this and yesterday's grousing over needing a Github account. Sorry about that.

If you're a pain in the ass then I'm sittin' on sunshine.

Definitely could do a better job of converting traffic. Don't feel like I have that nailed yet. :-/

Just my 2 cents, but I did not/do not know what gittip is. The above link invites me to sign in using github, I'm extremely cautious of logging in using github anywhere as my personal account is also my work account.

Any page where I can land and be asked to log in should do a better job of saying what you do, especially where trust is involved.

Thanks for feeding back. I'll try to do better next time.

Just to add my 2c, a blog post on this and the reasons behind it are a really good idea.

As soon as I saw 'log in' I immediately returned to HN comments to find out what was going on. Many people won't have that luxury, or patience.

Thanks for pushing through. I'll be more careful next time.
