"I know how to do iFrame apps with PHP, but not Rails, not sure if that helps. The way you manage that is that you send it the same way to authenticate, but in the HREF to auth, remember to type "_top" to access the authentication flow through Facebook (not in the frame). When Facebook sends the user back to your app, you will be on the main index page. Sniff for the signed_request post object, and that will have a UID, noting that the user has authenticated. Koala has a flow for this, I just didn't do an example for that." - anna sauce

"The callback path is probably wrong and/or the url you're using is different from the one you've registered in Facebook. Check the application settings." - anna sauce

"Thanks for the praise! Sorry, yeah that is a pretty obvious error message, so there  probably is some typo in the app id somewhere- you can also echo/puts out the connect string (auth_url) and test in a browser to debug." - anna sauce

"That's some crazy place in China - added the credit, thanks Melanie. I remember when she was being *evicerated* on that old horrible snarky site Valleywag, as one of the only serious engineers -of-female-gender- at Google, and not bad looking, to boot. She survived, that's true." - anna sauce

"I hope- that's a good positive outcome, if it comes true." - anna sauce

:D always welcome here *hug* - Michael W. May

*fails every day* usually, uninterestingly - Michael W. May

"Hey Julie, that's awesome. And also that you made it out to one." - anna sauce

"Thanks Jon, interesting to see it on the flip side, huh. I get the assumption that I'm good at design, all the time. Or, that I'm interested in "how things look." I recently was consulted on a women-centered hackfest, and asked "should we have centerpieces with flowers?" I'm like, WTF, for a mobile hackathon? Uh who cares?? (and why would I know?)" - anna sauce

"Thanks Sally! I think of you re: presenting at science conferences and winning grants (btw Sally has won some seriously large grants for CMV (immune/microvirology) research." - anna sauce

"Thanks for replying Laura, great to know you enjoyed it." - anna sauce

"Yay! I also am all about the visibility. As I've learned from helping kids/young women and others in the field, you don't really know you're a role model... until you are one. And I think I would have found my love of making apps & games earlier if I'd had more, of course. Instead, it was everyone's boring dad doing computers (sorry friend's dad's growing up, but you understand). At a high school girl's programming camp the other day, one of them was like "are you a partier?" with this kind of shocked and amazed expressino... I had just finished the Black Eyed Peas FB app. And when I acknowledged, that yes, I did enjoy going out, etc. I seriously got this whole little posse around me. So just saying, while lurking may help you personally, there is a bit of karma give back out there." - anna sauce

"Thanks Melanie. I really like the editing, because so many times the questions are asked poorly, and the small bit of editing I've had has been great. Not sure if Quora still allows, but SO only gives editing to more experienced-app users. The Quora thing rubbed me the wrong way, but SO editing didn't. Maybe because it's more binary/cut and dry material?" - anna sauce

"Yeah, there's another piece to the puzzle I just found out yesterday.  A friend has 2 profiles, male and female, and the differences are alarming. I'd love it (this was suggested on the HN thread) if more guys posted as women, and shared their experiences." - anna sauce

"Yeah, I didn't look into the Quantcast findings, and wonder how they know our gender from posting. I have seen growth lately, but over the 20 or so years in this industry, it's remained alarmingly consistently bad." - anna sauce

"Thanks Brian- Hopefully it will!" - anna sauce

"I personally like the format- I'm quoting folks who don't like it. I'm not sure, if that's gender-based, or just the usual "50% people don't like competitive arenas." I'm a sucker for gamification. What I don't like is being treated different due to my gender. My latest grief is "smiley faces," which I dislike because of the often quoted "women are more emotional" bullshit. I seriously get more emoticons than other posters (who are male). It's well meant, sure, but condescending. My earth will not shatter if you disagree with me." - anna sauce

"It's nice to know that you consciously try not to consider bias in your up and down voting, and many say that saying you are not biased is 50% the way there. There is, though, unconscious bias. Check out this Harvard test to see if you have bias: https://implicit.harvard.edu/i..." - anna sauce

"Hi phwd- note these are comments by women in the list, not mine. I'm obviously visible and posting problems, and writing answers. Good point, I think the "closed doors" is not good for minorities in general. It's "safe", sure, but doens't help you battle these obstacles that exist in the real world.." - anna sauce

"I've hada  few run-ins with Coffeescript, and interested to try. Thanks for the writeup!" - anna sauce
