I’ve seen a big reaction (in a good way) from people who check out new apps and find that there is a demo they can try without ever signing up for an account. I decided to do something like that with my new project, Perligo.
Perligo is a digital-first writing group. It’s for writers who want the experience of collaborating in a critique group to make their writing better but haven’t found a good solution.
Try the demo here: https://perligo.io/demo
I’d love to know what you think!
I'm all for signing up as late as possible. These days you have so many things to sign up so even free signup is too much. You have to show value upfront. As a bonus, a lot of users who are not your match don't even pollute your database, and you have less number of users to brag about but much better retention.
I love serving users but your point about people not polluting the database is a huge plus on the operation side. Good call!
