I was interested by the title. So I followed the link, but no screenshot/no presentation/anything (I see you're working on it, but wanted to point it out).

So, since this is HN and usually good stuff get posted here, I decided to sign up anyway. I put my name/mail here, and got the confirmation email.

But, as I forgot that my cookies where blocked (I pretty much always do), the site decided to throw a "non-compatible error" to me, and now I can't get it to work with my code, or to send me a new code. (For some reasons, it seems that I don't get a new mail even if i put some dots or add a + tag to my mail).

Also, the page just break if I use tab to switch to the next input box. See http://spittiepie.com/img/up/1373685796db5.png

In the end, I didn't manage to actually try it. Guess I could try with a different email, but I don't really feel like opening a new account just for this.

We don't change codes in between signup attempts with the same email address, so the original email/code combination should work. If you keep having issues and want to help out, it'd be great if you could an email over to [email protected] with your email and browser/OS.

We'll fix the tab bug, thanks for letting us know.

Thanks for the quick reply, I tried again and the code is not working.

I'll later send a mail to support, as now it's quite late for me.

Just a heads up, the Chrome plugin Ghostery blocks "Get the free beta >" element. I'm not sure why it does this, but I feel it's worth mentioning because the number of people installing Ghostery has increased lately.

Thanks, I'll try to figure out what's going on.

I thought I am reading a joke, a landing page with just a text under Show HN category. But then I read a comment below about Ghostery block. I think I'm okay with using Memrise.

While we work on trying to get Ghostery to play nice, you can try out the main app at http://memn.io/app.html

On chrome/linux the tops of the almost all text has shaved off, no matter the zoom level. http://imgur.com/cOWUTkM

Is the problem resolved for you?
Re:Show HN: Memnio – remember anything faster by yodaiken on Friday July 12, 2013 @11:25PM (#6036563)
Thanks, we'll fix that.

I really liked your sign-up process. Like it's probably my favorite sign-up process of what I've experienced.

How is this different from Memrise or Anki?
Re:Show HN: Memnio – remember anything faster by useruseruser on Saturday July 13, 2013 @06:24AM (#6037207)
Yes, could the OP please elaborate on this? The above mentioned SRS systems are pretty good at what they do and since the learning algorithm really cannot be that sophisticated, I have a hard time seeing how you can improve on them. Also, you don't seem to have native apps. Compare that to, say Anki, which has everything covered from desktop, to web to mobile (although Android only I believe). While yours is a web app, but I don't think it's very nice to use on the desktop (like, cursor is an arrow even on links). It's too mobile oriented, but then you might as well go with a native app.

Do you have screenshots?
Re:Show HN: Memnio – remember anything faster by yodaiken on Friday July 12, 2013 @09:18PM (#6036319)
We're working on making the landing page have more images, but in the meantime it's really easy to sign up for a free account.

Less text, more showing. I read your landing page twice and can't recall anything except "something, something flashcards". Sign up is "hidden" somewhere up right.

Assume i'm an idiot, the sign up form needs work, clicking the placeholder and _then_ typing is one action too much.

Style your form in a universally accepted fashion, not what out think looks good (i'm talking out of my ass here, but that's what i noticed at first glance)

Edit: Why is there a sign-in link on the sign in page, whut

Ha, I actually thought it was a press release style thing on their blog until I read your comment. There's so many examples of a hero unit these days it seems almost rude not to have one.
Re:Show HN: Memnio – remember anything faster by yodaiken on Friday July 12, 2013 @10:35PM (#6036465)
I'm not sure what you mean by sign in link on the sing in page or sign up being "hidden". Could you elaborate?
Re:Show HN: Memnio – remember anything faster by MWil on Friday July 12, 2013 @11:13PM (#6036539)
where the hell is it? I re-opened the page 3 times to try and locate it and even came back here to try and find it.
Re:Show HN: Memnio – remember anything faster by yodaiken on Friday July 12, 2013 @11:25PM (#6036562)
On http://memn.io/app.html (you won't see the link for some reason if you have Ghostery installed), you should be greeted with a sign up page [1]. If you have already made an account, you can click the "Sign In" link in the top right corner to switch to the Sign In form.

If that's not working, I'd appreciate it if you could email [email protected] with your browser/version/OS.
