I'd like to try this, but the "Try Now for Free!" button wants me to create an account - I don't want to create an account just to have a quick look. I'd much rather have a quick look, then maybe create an account later if I wanted to try it more meaningfully.

If you're an HN regular, I guess you were expecting a comment like this - is there an open URL we can use just to get a feel for it?

^ this. I was excited to try it out, but there is no wayI create an account just to take a quick look. I am 99% sure this will not work for me and my team, but I wanted to just check, maybe show it to my team. This needs no registration demo.

Seconded, I would like to have a look but I won't give out my email without researching who you are more thoroughly. And I can't "Try Now..." if I have to go spend time researching before I try it.

And I don't think using a fake or alternative email is an option.

Account creation doesn't require clicking a link in the email, I just used 'buttmonkey' as the username and '[email protected]' as the email.

And now I am stuck in the tutorial because it wants me to zoom in and out with the mouse wheel or the track pad, and I am at my desk with my computer closed and plugged into my monitor and my Wacom tablet and it doesn't recognize using the touch ring set to 'scroll'. It's sure not doing a good job of suppressing Safari's right-click menus when I hit the stylus button I have set to right-click to rotate the view, either.

I think they shut down Mailinator emails (tried Mailismagic and mailinator and both times I was "unauthorized")

Mailinator still works. The homepage doesn't suggest emails anymore but there's a box at the top of the page for whatever fake email you want to check.

Wow, that's some pretty disappointing behaviour if true. Since at leat one of the authors is here, would be good to get a comment from them on this?

Is opening the computer a possibility?

It's under the desk, hidden away.
