If I could make a suggestion for KeyCombiner, I think that having a way to start out as an anonymous user (with no sign up or email confirmation) at first, and then asking users to sign up once they've completed a few lessons would make it even more appealing to try out.
The "Start Learning" button at the top right of your site IMHO should be a bit of a demo mode.
(I know that it's harder/messier to implement a "half anonymous" mode -- this is just a suggestion) :-)
- tkainrad 5y agoI see your point and I wouldn't mind having something like that. However, much of KeyCombiner requires a database. It stores practice results, personal collections, you can change a lesson's combinations etc. I feel like if I tried to do a demo mode without storage anonymous users would be left with a 2nd class experience and potentially think less of KeyCombiner. However, there's already lots of things that anonymous users can do: Browse all public collections, courses, and lessons. Use the practice demo on the home page. Search through KeyCombiner's entire database of public shortcuts. And more.
- gregsadetsky 5y agoWhy not let “semi” anonymous users — i.e. they’d be identified by a session cookie, but you wouldn’t know their email - use your database and store a bit of info there, but limit what they can do at the application level i.e. don’t let them complete more than 3 lessons for instance?
