Hey Ethan! Impressive what you did in those 24 hours! Of course it's not finished yet. But congrats on this great start! Besides, I can't stop listening to 'Two Steps From Hell' now.. I think it's going to be my new programming playlist. Thanks for that! #24hrstartupsquad

Technical Issues... Email link says no server found (using Mac Safari). Copying link to Chrome works fine. Created profile, but when it goes to choose a maker avatar icon it gives a Error... TypeError: Failed to fetch message and gets stuck in an endless loop of emoji icons (chrome). Stuck

@stepheninoue Hey, should be fixed now I think? Sorry about the issues, I only had 24 hours ;)

Would love some more personalisation on the profile page, like being able to change the avatar might be an important one for some poeple.

Pros:

Pretty good base

Cons:

profile customisation

The main landing page should offer some kind of about/FAQ button that explains what the profile is, why I would want one, and what the service is for. Doesn't need to be prominent, and shouldn't take away from the simplicity of the landing/main page. If a profile URL doesn't exist (I guess you do a lookup in the database if it has been claimed by an e-mail address and don't just go ahead and ask the APIs for that name), the site should send a proper 404 HTTP status code for ReST and indicate in the page that this profile doesn't exist (maybe because of a typo by the person who made the link). More advanced functionality would be to encode the retrieved data semantically (vcard/hcard or better stuff), but that might be contrary to your (business) interests if others/clients could scrape/grab the data from your site, and who knows what this means in terms of avoiding the API calls to the real sources by (ab)using your site to do that for them. There might be an issue that the account names I put in into my own profile, there's no verification if that's actually me (OAuthing into each of these or copying token keys would be quite inconvenient), so users might be able to claim that they have done things that are not actually them, if that's a thing. I think name squatting isn't much of a problem at this stage either, by, for example, generating a lot of e-mail addresses on my server and register all possible/common names, to then later sell them or whatever, as it happened with domain names. E-mail addresses that are associated with a claimed name on your site might be or not be unique in your database or by the application logic, to at least have the expense to generate many mail accounts if somebody would try to abuse the site in such a malicious way. In case somebody loses access to his/her e-mail account, there's probably no safe way to gain access to the maker.rocks profile again, except contacting you (no indication on the site given how to do that) and proving access to the accounts that are entered in the profile, to verify that it is likely the same person, if that's of relevance (most of the time, it would be to add another profile on one of the other sites, or remove one).
