Okay, they just ask for name and email, but that information is totally useless unless they want to spam people afterwards, which would quickly destroy their reputation.
So the signup reduces their audience without any benefit.
- leemhoffman 17y agoWe completely agree, and will probably change that in the future. We force signup now for 2 reasons: 1) Right now the most important thing for us is to establish product market fit. And the way we do that is by sending a survey after you take a course, and by seeing where you drop off - both require signup. 2) It lets us keep track of your state (so you can stop, start, come back), and allows you to participate in the exercise / notes, both key pieces of functionality in taking the course.
