And that's fine, assuming the user wants the app to know which ideas belong to them. From a UX standpoint, it's so much better to let the user kick the tires before requiring them to register.

Where would the idea be assigned if it doesn't know who the user is?

  Stripe does a great job at this. You should look at how they do this, its a very well executed implementation.

    If I want to use Stripe, I have to sign up.

  The idea is to fake the UX without storing anything permanently. Generate a temporary ID to store data to while the user is playing with the site. If they've added ideas they want to save permanently, overwrite the temporary ID with the new user ID. Storing the data only matters if they sign up. I'm a programming noob myself, but I think this should work. If I'm dead wrong, it should only take a couple minutes for me to be corrected ;-) A little inspiration: splendidbacon.com/ Congrats on building something cool, btw! EDIT: Go to account and look at the email address... it's randomly generated. Cool, huh?

    I understand now... I don't think I would go that detailed as they have, though. I think I could achieve something similar with a demo made with Javascript on the landing page, no?

      Yep. I think so.
