6 points posted 8 hours ago and still on the front page? Impressive!
Anyway, I signed up, just waiting for the email. Not really clear on where this fits in for us but seems to be relevant.
edit: Wait a second, I gave up my email address to "Try now for free" and I guess I just signed up for a mailing list:
"Please Confirm Subscription
<button>Yes, subscribe me to this list. </button>
If you received this email by mistake, simply delete it. You won't be subscribed if you don't click the confirmation link above."
I clicked on it, but it just took me to a "Thanks for signing up for this list" page. I really hate the bait and switch here. I unsubscribed from the list. I guess managing free trials could be managed via mailing list but this just looks like an email address grab since you don't explain anything.
- codebeaker 12y agoHi @mattdeboard sorry that you were disappointed by the landing page, I'll pass your comments on to the marketing guy who is responsible for that page. As I wrote on another comment here there's nothing that people can try yet, we're still pre-alpha, and our team agreed not to submit to HN until the product was ready. We expect Q1, naturally the marketing man wants the "hookiest" landing page he can come up with, but I'm not comfortable with pushing that page in it's current form to any technical circles. It exists mostly for drive-bys and as something to show to potential investors and partners.
- codebeaker 12y agomattdeboard, the wording on the landing page is fixed, thanks for the feedback.
