That's not very transparent, how would I have found that visiting the site for the first time? In fact, there is no communication to the user before asking for access to post to their twitter account. I guess the intent is to be insiders-only? Kinda mysterious?



Yep, its linked from a couple of pages but needs to be more obvious. Will fix.


Thanks - I didn't know if it was intentional. If I go to the site, the only link I have is to provide access to twitter. It does give it the feel of "somewhere I'm probably not supposed to be," which is why I was wondering if that was the intent.


Not the intent. Just trying to find the balance between UI clutter and ease of access to information. As a stop gap links have been added to a post in the "About Medium" collection: https://medium.com/c/b969ac62a46b

We'll certainly look into this more though. Thanks for raising the concerns!
