Abcdesktop – a cloud native desktopless system

This seems like a cool concept, but I didn't try it out because the demo requires FULL READ-WRITE access to my GitHub account, its organizations, and private details! Surely reading basic user info would suffice.

I paused for the same reason.

I logged in using my Gmail. I assume a sizable number of people here have a throwaway Gmail. It didn’t need access to anything in the mailbox like with GitHub.

Neat project. Cool for a proof of concept, but not solving any needs I have.

The demo.abcdesktop.io OAuth configuration has changed. The demo doesn’t require FULL READ-WRITE access to GitHub account, anymore.

It uses only Personal user data Profile information (read-only), just to display your user name in the top bar. The scope OAuth 2.0 has changed from ‘user’ to 'read:user' You can use a GitHub OAuth safely, it was a misunderstanding in GitHub doc OAuth

Same here, I'm thinking about installing it to try it out but I'm not going to give them full access to my profile.

Nope. Hard pass.

Good point. Since the Travis incident I don’t give any app write access to anything.
