Public view of your gists #5

Closed bgreenlee closed 11 years ago

Anyone should be able to go to http://www.mygists.info/bgreenlee and see my public gists.

Ultimately, I think profiles should be public, and the profiles should list public gists.

simeonwillbanks commented 11 years ago

An authenticated user is able to view all profiles. When viewing another user's profile, only public gists and their public tags are visible.

You don't want to allow unauthenticated users to see it?

simeonwillbanks commented 11 years ago

At this time, I'd like to keep it authenticated. If a visitor is interested in gists, I figure they're a GitHub user. Therefore, I'd like the visitor to sign in with GitHub and become a My Gists user.

Thoughts?

I think it should mirror what github does, which is to allow anyone to view a person's public gists whether they are logged in or not. I can see a use case where someone might collect gists under a tag and then want to share those with the public. If your goal is to get more My Gists users, I think you'll do better if you make it as publicly sharable as possible.

You make a good point. I agree; it should mirror GitHub.
