I used this modal UI because I think it's less annoying than a traditional homepage. Most web apps have a homepage that requires you to sign in before you can use the app. I wanted to send people straight to the app and allow you to see and even try the app without signing in.
I actually made a whole video about this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjKxpks13Zw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjKxpks13Zw
- news_hacker 4y agoI think having a small "Dismiss" link or "X" button could feel a little less coercive. I do appreciate being able to click outside the modal to do this, but it wasn't immediately clear at first.
- trafnar 4y agoTrue, I'll add it.
- rob74 4y agoThanks for that hint! I was already prepared to close the tab because I didn't realize I could dismiss the popup. I guess the main reason for that is because it's early in the morning where I live, but also, nowadays when you get a popup like that (e.g. on Twitter or on paywalled sites) and it doesn't have a "close" button, it really means "log in, sign up or §$%& off"...
- trafnar 4y agoI've added a close button
- bambax 4y agoClicking outside of the modal doesn't really dismiss it? It just puts it at the bottom of the page.
