Like nearly everyone else, I despise going through the registration process on every site I try. But certain applications simply don't work without registration. Actually, lots of applications don't. I recently started working on a tiny web app (http://alexreidy.me/apps/WhereIsMyComputer http://alexreidy.me/apps/WhereIsMyComputer) that lets you find your computer if it's lost or stolen, and by its very nature it's quite useless if you can't log in to see your device's location (and it's absurdly revealing if you alternatively display a page with thousands of names and corresponding coordinates). Since many sites simply wouldn't work without registration, I propose that we make registration more painless (maybe get rid of the whole email requirement and instead delete accounts that don't verify with email if they are clearly spammers or inactive) or, when a registration-free trial is not viable due to the nature of the application, we could design sites with a demo feature or demo video.
