Sounds awesome, would love to try it. Spent 5 minutes trying to sign up, but every variation of usernames that I tried were taken. This normally wouldn't be an issue to complain about, except that in order to test whether a username is available or not, I have to enter the username, password, and captcha every time.
Please please please tell me whether or not a username is taken as a type it before I go further.
- jrwoodruff 10y agoSame awful experience here. Sounds great, was terrible.
- matart 10y agoI also had every username I tried come up as taken. Even ones I found on main stream sites.
- keehun 10y agoI'm having a similar experience. I have a username that is NEVER taken... Not even on Gmail, and yet it was not available. I sense that the form is wrong, or maybe it's not accepting new users right now.
- derekja 10y agoyeah, total fail. Every variation of my fairly uncommon name including random numbers at the end of my full name.
- trickster_ 10y agoYes, my bad! I did not expect my site to get hacker news'ed while I was sleeping and I hadn't scaled up the web server for that... You can try again now. :) The really good news is that all mails are always buffered on another server, so even if the whole thing was to go down, all mails will reach its destination in a timely manner.
