... This week I went through the sign-up flow of ten well-known products, imagining an AI assistant doing it for me. It could read what each product does and what it costs. On almost every one it would stop at the email confirmation or a CAPTCHA. I had never thought of a sign

... about to let visitors try my app before they sign up. The easy way is anonymous sign

... thinking about how annoying traditional sign-up forms are with all the CAPTCHAs and email verification steps. If an AI assistant is trying to set up a service for its owner our current onboarding flows completely block it. Allowing bots to auto-create accounts sounds like a fraud nightmare but forcing a human to manually type in details feels outdated. I'm leaning toward letting the AI fill out all the fields while keeping just one single click ... ... human to approve everything. How are you handling this in your own apps are you keeping sign

... hardest thing to get right was getting people successfully through sign-up. Initially I started with one time links, had a few successful sign

... right project and making the next action clearer: - Organize workspaces in nested folders, drag to reorder, and add tags and icons. Search the sidebar or open a project's directory from its menu. - Choose Claude browser, Console or SSO sign-in, or Codex browser or device-code sign

... When I'm trying a new SaaS tool, I'm much more interested in signing up if I've already seen what it can actually do. Being asked to fill out a form before seeing any real value can make me leave before giving the product a chance. I get why founders ask people to sign

... Zviad, founder of Signify, an e-signature and document management platform. Our hardest user was never the procurement director who buys the platform. It's the person who gets a signing request on their phone and has maybe never signed

... scores the ones you've stopped using, and finds the exact cancellation page in one tap. No bank linking read-only inbox access, and email content is never stored on our servers. What the Android rollout actually changed: Staying signed in. On some devices the system was dropping the saved session between launches: fully close the app, reopen it, and you'd land back on the sign

... frustration. So many products won't let you see anything until you make an account. No demo, no screenshots of the actual interface, no way to poke around. Just a signup form and a promise. Half the time I sign up, look around for two minutes, and realize it's not for me. Now they have my email and I have nothing. I've started just closing the tab when signup is the first step, even if the product looked ... ... interesting. Wanted to know how other people deal with this. Will you sign

... minute check for anyone who receives signed webhooks. Find the line where your code reads the signing

... hand picked array, which was already a fix once, because the hand picked version had left three legal pages unchecked. Seventeen pages. Green for weeks. Here is what a stranger can reach that is not among the seventeen: sign in, sign

... Enforcement on 30 September hits seven stores in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand. Not sideloading, not other stores. But registration is bound to your app signing key, and Google's FAQ says a lost one can't be recovered. There's a version of this story going around that says Android is closing. Sideloading is dead, the open platform is over, verify or disappear. I went and read Google's own developer verification pages this week, because Murror ships ... ... honest read, and I'd rather hand you that than manufacture urgency. Here's the part I'd actually act on this month, and it has nothing to do with the date. Registration is bound to your app signing

... where your mail finally stops introducing itself as a.very.long.address@example.com and starts signing off like a grown-up. New Your name on outgoing mail. Skim always had a slot for a display name it just never bothered to fill it. Now it does, per account. And it doesn't ask you: it takes a quiet look at your Sent folder, notices what you actually sign

... thinking about this because it sounds like such a small product decision, but I don t think it actually is. Someone signs up with Google. Six months later they are on their iPhone and tap Sign

... wants me to upload the file to their server first. Nobody else is ever going to see that document. Why does it need to go anywhere? That's what FairSign does differently. It goes live here on Sept 1. Signing something yourself stays in your browser. The PDF gets read and rewritten right in the tab. Nothing gets sent. If you don't believe me, open DevTools, go to the Network tab, drop a file in, and watch the zero ... ... since it emails them a link and puts an audit trail in the finished PDF.

... want to share revenue, and then at the same time, somewhere in the comments, he said that extensions that reached 30,000 users don t make him enough money to support himself. Okay.... But then what is the first sign that your tool can make it? that it solves a real problem? that it has some number of users? (if so, how many?) that it brings in revenue? (if yes, what amount?) Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @hira_siddiqui1 ... ... same person then told you does not pay. Thirty thousand users and it still does not support him. So whatever 200-in-a-month is a threshold for, it is not the thing you need. The earliest real sign

... Attribution problem I haven't solved, for anyone running a try-before-signup flow. Last week I took the account requirement off the front of my product. You can now use the main thing without signing up; the account is only needed to export what you made. It was clearly right for the product nobody understood it from a description, and they understood it immediately once they'd used it on something of their own. My measurement fell apart ... ... spent on people I can't identify, can't email and can't count. Costs moved before any of the good numbers did. Worst one: somebody tries it anonymously, leaves, comes back four days later and signs

... creator of MyDigitSign . Like many of you, I sign a lot of agreements. NDAs, client contracts, lease papers you name it. But every time I uploaded a sensitive PDF to a random online signer, I felt uneasy. Where do my files go? Who is hosting them? On top of that, most tools lock basic features behind a paywall or force you to sign

... comment I haven't stopped thinking about: "The friction is never the calendar; it's locking scope and terms before anyone starts working." Fair challenge. What I built assumes scope is settled by the time a contract goes out signing is the "we already agreed, now make it official" step, not the negotiation. For those of you who do client work, is that true for you? Is scope usually settled before you'd want anything signed

... most audit trails answer 'did this action happen.' the ones that hold up under legal scrutiny answer something harder: 'would the reviewer who signed it still say yes if you asked them today.' ive been calling this consent-of-record. not just reviewer id, but reviewer knew X at time of sign

... Every business I have run has had a version of the same warning sign. A customer complaint that repeats instead of a one time thing. A number that drifts slightly off for a few weeks in a row. A task that keeps getting rescheduled instead of finished. None of those look urgent on the day they happen. They only look obvious in hindsight, once they have already turned into something bigger. Curious what your early warning sign

... After a launch, sign-ups are an easy number to watch. But early on, I m finding a different signal more useful: whether someone can clearly describe the problem they hoped the product would solve. A sign

... founders to sign up for Causo after launch. Nice number. Felt good for about 12 seconds. Then we looked at the funnel properly and got humbled pretty fast. 253 created a company profile. 92 completed onboarding. 90 got matched with investors. 38 actually launched outreach. 18 became paying customers. So yeah, top of funnel looked pretty decent. But the real lesson was not how do we get people to sign

... This feels like a hard balance, especially for products that need a bit of context. If the landing page explains too much, it can start to feel heavy. If it explains too little, people may sign up without really understanding the problem, the use case, or why the product matters. I ve seen products where the tool itself is good, but the first reaction is still: I don t get it yet. For makers here, what ... ... maximum curiosity. Before signup, the page should make it clear who the product is for, what problem it solves, and what outcome the user can expect. The product can explain the deeper workflow later. Especially in B2B, if people sign
