The worst part is that after you've added a property and clicked the big button you're forced to sign up or sign in. I can't even see whether or not the service is useful without creating an account and, with it, yet another vector for unsolicited communication (GDPR be damned, etc., and yes I have trust issues here).

Maybe at least give me a taste of something useful before I have to sign up?

I was much less bothered by the layout and colours.

That's actually a feature and not a bug, a little activation energy is a great way to filter out people you probably can't convert to signups.

But you still need a demo video at the very least
