Thanks, I think this might be one of the missing links. The system emails you an API key straight after sign up but it really should be on the next screen I guess.

I also need to make the animation clearer.

FYI - email showed up ~2 hours after I submitted (way, way too long).

I've always been a fan of the metric: "Time to Awesome" - how long does it take for a new user to go from cold start to whatever awesomeness exists for your app.

I chose a 2 hour delay to give the effect of processing information (cashpoint machine effect) and to act as a reminder. I guess it compounds the issue that the thank you page does nothing though. Great feedback thanks!
