I went through a multi-step process of trying to access Journal on my phone: being redirected to desktop, checking my inbox for an invite email, going to journal.com, having to download a desktop app, signing in, and then...after all that, I am informed that Journal is invitation only. I'd suggest maybe informing users earlier in this process that the app is invitation-only.

That's definitely a bug. Sorry for that experience! If you're on the desktop app, please hit create account before trying to sign in. That message is leftover from when we were an invite only product, and only shows up if you try to sign in without signing up. Sorry once again, and we'll have that fixed immediately!

Thanks for the quick reply. Works now!
