Dashboard (Could use help from someone who knows how to use the API)

See, there is nothing there.
Clearly I am not about to derail on my axe murdering goal :wink:

I agree, which is why it’s opt-in to share your datapoint comments
even for non-secret goals.

I agree. “Mystery goal” serves little purpose.
Yeah, that was our hacky solution to the problem that it wasn’t
obvious when you’re signed in. We were nervous about secret goals
being out of sight, out of mind. Maybe that’s less of a problem now
than it was when we implemented that. Back then you could even enter
data without being signed in! I think it’s still an issue though.
Imagine pulling up beeminder.com/yournamehttp://beeminder.com/yourname quickly to check for any red
graphs. It needs to somehow be obvious that you might be missing
something if some secret goals are red but you aren’t actually signed
in to see secret goals.

Would it be lame to have “sign in to see this secret graph!”?
Despite revealing the existence of secret goals, we’re careful not to
reveal the existence of their URLs (thanks to whoever that was –
probably Paul Fenwick? – who pointed this out to us). So you can’t
surf to beeminderhttp://beeminder.com/jolly/axemurdering and have it prompt you to
sign in to see it. Then you’d be all “ha, I knew it! jolly beeminds
his axe-murdering!” Actually it does prompt you to sign in if you surf
to that but that’s what it does when you surf to
beeminderhttp://beeminder.com/jolly/anything so you can’t learn anything that way.
(Please let us know if you find any leaks!)
