Completely understandable, if you're concerned with sharing your personal information then feel free to use a fake/disposable email, as there is not validation for that (yet).
If nothing else I've learned that I definitely need to have a workable demo available before sharing this elsewhere. It'll be #1 on my TODO list. It's nearly bed-time for me now, but I'll get started on it as soon as tomorrow. Thank you for your feedback!
- rodw 6y agoFWIW I think that unless the value is immediately obvious without experiencing it directly a demo is helpful but ultimately inadequate. I think you'd want something like the Reddit onboarding model, where you can use the service anonymously to an extent but eventually are compelled to create an account for some other value-add that it turns out you really want on top of the thing you were using anonymously. For Reddit that's things like being able to comment/post (or collect karma I guess) or being able to personalize the content by including or excluding specific subreddits from your "feed". In your case maybe that's something like you can view other people's (anonymized) nano-news feeds, or feeds on specific topic you know to be popular, but you need to create an account to create a custom feed or more convieninetly aggregate feeds or whatever. I don't really know where you are trying to go with this though, and you've thought about it more than I have, so maybe I'm missing the point. But that's what I think I would do.
- MathCodeLove 6y agoThanks for the advice, I agree with your assessment. I'll figure something out and will make onboarding a smoother and more palatable process than it is now. It seems like that's my biggest issue at the moment.
