I downloaded it and installed it, but could not try as it requires a signup with email!

1. The feature set on paper is impressive, but there should be a way of trying out the limited features in offline mode, without requiring a mandatory sign-up. So consider adding a demo mode both in the downloaded and web version.

2. Is there a way to host data locally?

3. The Privacy policy & Terms of service take forever to load. The loading times need some serious tweaking.

1. Originally, there was the function for trying it out without sign-up, but that function was removed. Our marketers didn't want that feature. I'm sorry.

2. It can't be. But you can use the app offline or by exporting & importing local data.

3. I'm sorry. I have nothing else to say but to reload. It's fine on our side.

Well, throw me in the bucket of people who've been lost by that decision. Sounds potentially interesting, but I'm by no means invested enough already to go through the whole account creation thing just to try it.

After reading your comments, Our marketers just decided to add the function to use the app as a guest again. So now you can use the app without signing up. Isn't it good?

How? I see nothing on the frontpage about that, when I click on Web Version there is only login options?

I feel there should be some demo contant to showcase the learning process. I tried the guest account, but didn't see some demo content to import or try out with and didn't really want to spend the time to manually add content to test the learning process.

Having some demo content would help me quickly decide if this could be a good tool for me.
