Oh wow. Look at that.

https://gist.github.com/kobble-git/87ea625d421177f9e9307c6ce...

And each fork is a link to a secret gist.

This isn't directly obvious, so I'll clarify. Anyone who has used this app - all of your notes are publicly available by following the link above.

Everyone - revoke access to the app and manually delete all the gists it created in your account.

To view anyone's notes, all you have to do is visit https://gist.github.com/kobble-git/87ea625d421177f9e9307c6ce..., click anyone's "View fork", then follow the trail of gist links in the JSON.

Please read the comments above about the various uses of Kobble. Gists are for public use and sharing. Private repos are coming very soon for other use cases.

A timely reminder that online services _have_ to prioritise security if they want to be taken seriously. I guess day one is a good day to learn that lesson though...

Ouch. It does seem as if anyone can view any users' content this way.

I'm one of the Kobble devs. This is intentional. Please read the comments above about public and private use of Kobble. The intros on the web have been clarified also.
