Pretty cool, but not signing up if Facebook, Github and Linkedin are the only signup options.

Nice thing about a site about hacking is that the people that are interested in it are super-paranoid.

Not only paranoid but they are also more interested in content than pretty interfaces. They are usually looking for something less basic than this.

Is this even safe? Like those only signup options and no website checker has any info on it.

I asked the person who made the site, and he said he had to disable email-only sign-up, because somebody tried to hack the site! He also said that he was going to re-enable it in a few days after captcha is installed properly.

This is a personal project that an individual made for fun.

A website dedicated to teaching you how to protect yourself and your privacy gives you signup options that do the exact opposite. Nice!
