Here's an idea. Create a demo account so anyone can jump right in and experience the product first hand before having to sign up. Maybe make it so all recent changes get deleted every 24 hours or so to maintain a properly configured account (or even flush out all the user updates after their session expires).

With so many task management / project management apps on the market it's quite difficult to differentiate yourself and prove your value with just a snazzy looking homepage (it is a nice design, but so are the 100+ tools I've looked at).

I second this - 1 click signup is huge for a competitive market like project management apps.

I do something similar to Balsamiq for one of my apps - it keeps a high contrast "Save Progress" button at the top of the screen, and any time the user does one of a few set actions (for you, create a project or to do list) I pop up a modal to ask for their email and password to save their acct.

In addition to greasing the sign up process, it gives you an idea of your market fit - the data you collect around this "temp user" process is very insightful.

Thanks for the suggestions oziumjinx.

Many people has missed the free plan so I definitely need to do something about it.
