I don't particularly like the fact that I went to textualize.io to casually learn more, only for it to ask for my E-mail with no context and then confirm my subscription to a mailing list.

I thought the article was clear about what the site provides as of now:

>I've been deliberately coy about the cloud service. I will be posting about that soon, but for now its in stealth mode. If you want to hear about that first, be sure to sign up for the mailing list on textualize.io.

1. Is that text before or after the first link to the website?

2. Is it a reasonable expectation for a website to be self-sufficient for a visitor, or should they have to read about it somewhere else?
