Can't make any searches for free without signing up?
- swah 12y agoAgreed - very uninviting flow. It would be better to ask for the email in the same page as the first search, or the infinitely better "enter email to save your search".
- michaelmior 12y ago> Why to sign up? As a registered user you will be able to perform more searches for free. No spam. Making you sign up is not unreasonable. But I find this text annoying. Yes I can perform "more" searches for free if I sign up, meaning more than zero.
- dlhavema 12y agoright, a result of the quick change over to help not kill the servers or their/his wallet.. if you do keep this flow, re-evaluate the verbiage. I like the design and layout of the site though! maybe add a few more tool tips about what each column means. i know a little PPC terminology but not enough apparently..
- michaelmior 12y agoYeah, I assumed that might have been for the purposes of not lighting the server on fire, which is totally reasonable :)
- itrinity 12y agoThis restriction is there just for the last 2 hours. You could do 5 analysis without any account before. The reason is that I got a huge traffic from HackerNews and the service was not prepared for such a big load and were (are) there many technical issues. I know, it is my bad but I really did not expect that people will love this service (concept) so much that it will go on #1 page on Hackernews.
- joshdance 12y agoMakes sense. Would have been nice to put a note about that. Something like 'sorry, due to really high usage, you have to sign up for an account.' Just letting people know. Good luck!
