Didn't vote because it asks for permission to update my profile info and repository's as well as reading my public data. Can't see why it would need anything but read-access to my github profile.

Didn't realize that. Fixed now to only have read-only scope.

Edit: Obviously, we aren't going to do anything malicious with your data too, but apologies for the oversight.

Thanks for fixing. Didn't think you would've done anything with it, but I prefer to boycott apps that ask for more than they need just in case. :-)

This page could benefit greatly from any sort of explanation. What should my criteria be?

Also consider either changing the "Nominate" form to an actual <form> or adding a keypress event on the button so that I can submit by pressing enter.

Good points - as for criteria - this is just a fun little app we did over New Years weekend to give us coders a way to say thanks to our personal GitHub heroes.

Will fix the form issue.

When I open the page from here (either foreground or background) it closes immediately. Works fine if opened in new tab.

Woops was a stupid bug, fixed now, thanks!

Github is convenient and all, but for a popularity contest like that couldn't you accept just any email/account url? Or Ohloh committers, which are looked up in a number of forges?

instead of voting for someone why would you not just follow them on github. that is essentially a vote.
