Agreed. Initially, I canceled the OAuth request because I thought I had missed other options, but really Twitter is the only option. I don't love that it wants to read all of my tweets. Would love to see more integrations (and I'm sure they're coming) :)

Also there's a redirect through something called https://oauth.io which I've never heard of so now I'm thinking that oauth.io has some kind of access to my Twitter account rather than openhunt.co?

We use oauth.io as a hosted service to handle to interchange. I've been using them for years and believe them to be trustworthy.

It probably makes sense to switch off them in due time (since it's just one more dependency). But it allowed us to launch fast.

I'll create a github issue to track this.
