8% conversion rate is pretty good for a PH/HN audience. Three things I'm sure helped the signup rates, which others should copy: - Low-friction registration using SSO. - Glimpse of the product in the background. - Let guests see and click on gated features. (Even if visitor clicks "Or try it instead" they still see "+ New Draft" button, which leads to the signup prompt again.) I've tested these in other apps and foun…

I'd word it simply:
- a spirited discussion
I don't know if you could signal that more immediately (inline perhaps, without updating the thing on the right)?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
not his fault people seem to like a fight. It says more about human nature than it does about him.
Well, it certainly says something to profit off it.
Except we were not prepared for the traffic, and it took the site down for over 24 hours! Lesson learned...

I'm curious as to what else you've found helps increase sign ups. Do you have the results published anywhere?
Some quick ones:
- Make value proposition clear. Just because they reached the signup screen doesn't mean they're already convinced to sign up.
- Show social proof on signup screen, such as customer logos or approximate number of users. Same reason as above.
- Offer SSO options. Google is especially popular
- Have an Obvious Next Step(tm)(R)(patent pending). Make it clear what the visitor is expected to do next by making that thing visually stand out, and muting (or removing) everything else. Notice in OP's signup screen that the background app preview is tinted, and the Twitter login button is the brightest thing, dead-center of the page.
- Have a product people want. This is a hard one. :)
