Very annoying. Also, clicking on the background did not kill the window.
New visitors are unlikely to sign up before even viewing the site. You may want to popup that modal on the 2nd or 3rd page view.
Exactly what I did too. Pop ups that require my email address before I can see what the site does? No chance.
Thanks for the feedback.
Is it that you think it is intrusive?
Personally I find that kind of experience intrusive.
I do like the idea though, but what happens after?
Do I get to keep the app? Do I get upgrades to an app?
I take it the users who are early adopters are also free testers to some degree.
To kill the popup, I lied and claimed I was already registered. Shady first impression, puts me on guard before I read anything else on your page.
