>I could send you the direct link via Twitter DMs (yanex_ru) or via an email (me@yanex[at]org).

You need to freely provide the download. No one is going to give you their email address to download what should be an open source project.

Closed alpha allows me to fix the critical bugs until Marta will be available freely. It's not about a subscription to some shitty weekly newspaper. I already got the valuable feedback from alpha users.

But I completely understand you. I hope Marta will be available for everyone quite soon (maybe at the time of 0.2).

I get the email thing but "should be an open source project"?

That will again require a Twitter handle or Email.

It's the same with me. If I am using a really early stage app and actually helping with testing it the last thing I would want to do is to pretty much sign up for it with my email unless I desperately need that app.
