Is it just me but I am getting quite annoyed by wonderfuly designed pages which really get you pumped to use the product but then when you click to Sign up you get this Waiting list option/ queue/ MVP style dissapointment? I would appreciate if posters made it upfront in the HN submission that signup is disabled.

I would ordinarily agree but not in this case. You actually can register and use the service immediately with some simple "curl-ing" in the terminal. Which I found to be a brilliant initial user experience.

I was just about to say that! Very smart to target the developer audience by focusing on how they will interact with the product (also brave).

Actually you can register and use it right now through the API! Since the best way to use Less Neglect is by integrating through the API, we opted to launch using that method.

Really good idea. I'm going to steal it, if that's okay :)
Developers who get it are immediately delighted so you create a positive experience from the start for your first users and naturally limit the early access to people who can actually start pushing data to your service themselves.

Damn! I should have patented it!
Yes, please steal it. We debated whether it would be a good idea to do API-only registration, but the response so far has been mostly really positive.
