I'm not looking to rain on your parade or anything. I see the value of this product, but I have a question.

Why did you use an inbox for the user's data? I reason it is not the right definition. People hate the inbox. It actually turns them off from using products/services. I've tested it and mentioning the word inbox makes conversions plummet.

I would call it collections, queue, stack, or something else. Even panel.

I do like the process to join in, but I would test the flow through which people create accounts. I'd have them start saving stuff first, then requiring a password to save the data.

Anyhow, good luck

My guess is that inbox allows people to add more to kippt because it decreases the mental effort required to file the item into the correct tag/folder. Its a dumping ground were you add things and promise to sort later.
