Neat, but what's with the notifications permission? Notifications are pretty intrusive and turned me off of your site - is there a good reason you need them?

Thanks for your comment. We wanted to give our users the ability to opt-into receiving information about HSA and other related topics as we move forward without necessarily signing up on day 1 (in case they are not ready to do so).

How about offering a mailing list signup? Instant push notifications doesn't feel like the right medium for receiving info about HSA. Turned me off a bit as well.

Good call. We are in the process of fixing this right now so it doesn't show up. Will let you know as soon as this is fixed.

Edit: Ok removed the notifications. If you are still seeing it, please let us know. Thanks to both of you for pointing this out!

You're welcome!
