I really wish the folks publishing these apps would have a demo page or some information on their front page, rather than just immediately trying to get an OAuth token from me.

So in our case (Icebreaker), our site actually does have a good amount of pre-login info, but this gallery is choosing to only link directly to our OAuth login flow.

there are some reviews and writeups under the gallery, but yes I wished it too sometimes

Is it just me or does this website look like your typical domain squatter webpage? Even the default Bootstrap template would look better than this. Also why the Sharingan eye?

sharingan -> google glass brings great power to your eyes :-)

No, I actually agree w/ you 100%. The weirdness in aspect ratio supports this. Or maybe I've seen too main of these that are spamware. Or maybe I'm too hipster about web design.

I have a vision for a weather data collection app using the camera and accelerometer to automatically take sky photos, but I don't think the APIs support it yet: http://www.jacobsheehy.com/2013/05/weather-forecasting-with-...

Bro, do you even maintain aspect ratios?

I knew something was making it look cheap and amateurish but I hadn't spotted it was that. Ugh.

Oof. I hate to be "that guy" who complains about a new thing, but the icons for these apps could really use some work. The Amazon one is straight up disturbing, and many of them are just uncomposed pictures of things. I guess that's to be expected since most of this stuff isn't even alpha yet.
Re:Google Glass Application List by gcr on Sunday June 02, 2013 @12:53PM (#5809174)
Are these official? Judging from the icon and the description, I...hope, anyway, that the Amazon one wasn't produced by amazon.

I saw that Path are on there and, given their recent debauchery involving people's privacy, my heart sank.

Turn-by-turn directions for cooking is a great idea.

It's crazy-making, though, that there's no way to see a demo page or anything without attaching my Google account to the app. No thank you.

It would of been nice if there more apps that were empowered by Glass. These apps are all just the same as any app I can get on my phone.

I built a really simple horoscopes app while playing with the mirror api. glassscopes.appspot.com

This site is bizarre, though.
