- uberswe 8y agoExactly my thinking too, all I see now are a few categories/tasks and it is hard for someone new to understand how this tool is useful.
- just4sky 8y agoThank you. I will work on it
- amerine 8y agoWhy?
- atoav 8y agoBecause you pay with your data just to see what the thing does. If you really wanna do that, allow at least email.
- Zyst 8y agoNot parent, but for me it is because signing in with my google account is a relatively bigger commitment. They have my email, they can send me marketing content, among others. On the other hand, I still have no idea what their product does uniquely outside of any todo list. Thus, there is no value for me there outside of the proposal of "Deep Work" which I remember fondly due to the book. In simple terms, signing in with my account extracts an imagined cost (A company(?) has access to me), and the value presented is not enough for me to justify that cost. Adding other screenshots, and descriptions of what the application does would allow me to understand what I am getting into, before deciding if it's worth it for me to pay that cost, and thus make an informed decision as to whether I want to sign in or not.
- just4sky 8y agoI hear you.
- boltzmannbrain 8y agoSigning in gives access to user data. In return there should be some utility to the user. If there is no implication of the latter, the user won't give away the former.
- Androider 8y agoIt gives access to your name, email and profile picture (if you have one). I don't consider it any different than if the same was asked with a signup form. Having implemented Google Logins in the past, I always choose that option on sites I see: The site doesn't need to store any kind of password for you. This site also appears to be using the new Google "Cross Account Protection" feature, which will for example automatically log you out of the third party site if you report to Google that your account is compromised.
- williamdclt 8y agoI don't consider it any different than if the same was asked with a signup form. I think it was the point: the OP wanted to see more feature & screenshot before signing in, whether it's a Google login or not
- fuddle 8y agoThe product sounds interesting, but I'm not going to link my account unless I can see that the product is legit. i.e testimonials, screenshots, a navigation menu that doesn't just point to home etc..
- ergocoder 8y agoI also feel the same. I want to see how it works before giving the creator my email. So, I ended up not signing in, and, thus, I didn't learn how it worked.
- thih9 8y agoAlso, it looks like privacy policy is missing. Even simple non-legalese would be useful; something like this would be ideal: "I won't pass your email to third parties. I will send you a newsletter but only if you opt in during account setup. You can delete your data at any time."
- ghostbrainalpha 8y agoIf I saw a privacy policy written in a way I could understand, I would be WAY more likely to give my money to the premium version of the product. As long as there was a tiny link (privacy policy for lawyers) with it written the traditional way. I want to know that a company is able to produce a traditional privacy document, but is also smart enough to know I don't want to read one.
- just4sky 8y agoI like your suggestion. The message is joyful. If you don't mind, can I use your sentence? Just kidding, I should come out my own version.
- ed_balls 8y agoThat's why I have a second "fake" G account.
- just4sky 8y agoThank you. I'll show more features and how it works on the homepage.
