Show HN: Shipit – Pragmatic Product Planning

1. On the home page, the button label "Get Early Access" and form "Ping me when it launched" make it like a landing page and waiting list. Make the sign up button more clearly a sign up button and either remove or clarify the "Ping me" part.
2. Once I sign up, give me read-only access to 1 or 2 fake projects that are fully populated, or at least show skeleton placeholder data on my first new project. Basically, let me see what I'm missing interactively so I want to add my own data.
3. I think I'd have been more likely to watch the intro video if I could do so after I'd seen the actual app -- that is, linked to on the app dashboard, either instead of or in addition to asking before I'd seen the app. I could see just embedding the intro video below the empty dashboard as long as the user only has empty projects.
Hope this helps!
1. Will be updating it. It used to be a landing page, and after we launched the MVP few days ago, just managed to update the link.
2. That's a great idea! We've got a public roadmap for ourselves: https://app.getshipit.com/r/PaZrwULQxD, that might be one of the few projects to show during the signup.
3. Interesting, as very brief user-testing showed the opposite, so I made a mistake by extrapolating that to a much wider audience.
