Why is signup mandatory? I would really like to see at least some content before signing up!

Its not because of the content, its really because once you signup you can start taking notes against any projects/project ideas you have. I felt it was worth it to ask for a sign up.

Some people might want to see the content. I am thinking of putting some of it pre-signup. Till then I request you to signup and give it a shot. I am not here to spam, don't worry.

In that case, it would be really good to explain that on the site :)

But definitely, making singup option would be much much better. At least, some intro content available that will get visitors attention.

You are definitely losing a lot of exposure by requiring a signup. I am curious, but won't create an account just to see what you are doing.

I agree. I would request you to please sign up and give it a shot, but I understand if you don't want to. Putting the content out of sign up will take me some time :-)

Thanks for commenting!

I'm not going to sign up now, but please post it again when we can see it without creating an account.
