Currently we show a popup for newsletter signup and to download the Redbeard framework you need to provide your name/email. Which we collect.

The download link is emailed out. Myself and co-founder debated the merits of this . He is of the mind, getting emails is important. I think getting people using the framework and lowering barriers to in order to do that is far more pressing. What would you suggest?

Capturing an email allows to build an ongoing connection. It's easier to sell if you have proven to be useful on the small scale (free articles & advice), than to expect people to buy something as fundamental as a UI framework right off.
