Like most of you here, we too are a bit of early adopters and always on a lookout for the latest products and services. So we created a platform which lets early adopters discover new startups, join them early and get exclusive rewards. And after the saying "early bird gets the worm" we named it "Get Worm"

We've hit around 400 startups and 2000 users so far, and would love to hear feedback from the HN community on how can we make this platform better. What do you think?

Thanks for bringing this up. We did not anticipate users with Javascript switched off. Even though the site will not be funtional without JS, we certainly can show a message.
