PRIVACY WARNING: Every name/text entered into this site is publicly listed on the "latest" leaderboard which seems to paginate endlessly.

Just deployed a fix for this; removed latest and capped pagination.

It is still possible to download all entries via the api and sort them by the timestamp. Removing the cursor data would be one way to mitigate this.

Currently there are a bit more than 43000 entries. As far as I have seen, only the results are stored. When I entered a random name, only a similar name was found, and that similar name result was stored, but not the original input.

And will thus potentially end up in the effing weights.

That sucks… shame on me I guess

Wouldn't thinking so be the default for the HN crowd? I'd have thought any hacker would assume any text you type in a random website would be used however the website administrator wanted. (Not that the general public would think so.)

This was the first thing I thought too.

Even if this thing wasn't publicly displaying the names, I would assume they would be collecting them for something.

Can't trust anything like this online.
