I feel the same. I've registered using email, and it seems the email does not have to be validated, which just makes it pointless.

Other than that, the layout seems pretty friendly. The main issue of course will be what kind of community will build around this, there being so many question-answering forums in existence.

The community for Ask&Yeah will actually not be hackers :D. My goal is a repository of questions and answers that can be used freely in education. For example, teachers can find questions about a specific person in specific place (@JFK in !Berlin), ask their students collect the answers. Ask&Yeah is still mainly a side project for me to learn about jQuery Mobile, responsive design and backend development.

If you have any better use cases for Ask&Yeah, please let me know. Thanks

I myself feel the same way, that the pop-up is quite unnecessary. I actually learn it from Instagram app because i don't want unregistered people can post questions and answers because it will be quite spammy. I'm working on the solution that people can still browse the questions . The pop-up will only appear when they post questions or answers.
