This seems like a nice product, but unfortunately I can't create an account - after signing in via my Google account, I was redirected to a page [1] with an infinitely looping loading gif. I tried clearing my cookies for the domain, but no luck.

I'm running Chromium 64 on Linux.

Heya, I think I got to the root cause of that issue and I deployed an updated version that (hopefully) fixes it.

If you would still like to give it another shot I would appreciate it :)


Nope, still doesn't work. Here's a dump of the console log in case it's of any help: http://ix.io/ER9


The console dump was super useful, thank you for that!

I think it might be because you have third-party cookies disabled [1], and the Google Auth client uses an iframe with cookies to do its thing. I replicated it myself by disabling third-party cookies and the results were similar to what you described.

I'll look into what I can do about this on my end tomorrow. Thank you again for your time!

Interesting. I log into a handful of other sites using Google OAuth and have never had a problem. Let me know if you get it figured out, I would still like to check out your service.


Hmm that is odd. Another person reported this as well and I'll take a look at it and get back to you. Sorry about that.
