I'm really not sure what to think here. The cynic in me thinks that HN is being trolled. It's not as if this is a link to a blog post about your sing up process -- it's a link to a page with eleven words, two of which are dedicated to explaining what this actually is. If I were someone who wasn't really interested in any feedback, but rather wanted to game HN in to signing up for my product, this is one way I could accomplish my goal. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt in saying that I do not intend this to be an accusation. I had a look at your HN profile and it definitely looks like you've been participating in a positive way. My only feedback would be this: I can't be the only one who is completely unwilling to provide even my email address on a web page with such little detail. So at step one, the process is broken. Put something up. Anything. Some small amount of detail with a screenshot, diagram, or graphic relevant to the product. Otherwise many users won't make it past the first step.

Thanks for your honest feedback. We will have to include a proper marketing site very soon, so it's clearer what siasto is; in future I'll have to be clearer in my notes and mention that this is a work and collaboration tool. My intention was not to simply generate signups. Signups for us will not be useful if they don't stick around!

  Thanks for the reply. I know it's a small thing, but the ability to reply to a comment like mine with a perfectly level head says a lot about the character of your company. I want to make clear to anyone who comes behind to read this that I believe you. Anyone with questions should take a moment to look at your profile. Kudos to you guys and good luck with your product!

I felt the same way. There was no information as to what the product actually was, so I just left at the first screen. Like you, I assumed it was an attempt to game HN.
