Not much information is provided; there are just two buttons Join Private Beta and Whitepaper pdf file that seems to be incomplete and one gif

Edit: giving it a second thought, I've updated the document and the dialogs to give more information and also tell the reason why I'd like a contact before.

Hey - there is actually quite amount of information available in Github, from working prototype to, even the whole business plan is open in Github if you try to find it, not linked to the homepage though.

I'm building up a closed private beta community by onboarding each person.

So now, I'm particularly looking for people who is willing to help a project from the baby steps by being in the beta program, even without knowing much about it.

How does anyone know they're motivated to help a baby project if they can't easily find any info about the project?

This approach to building an audience and community makes no sense and is not respectful of users' time.

Whitepapers are generally the introduction to a product and shouldn't live behind an interest form imo

Hey - while I agree with you, for a project making the very first baby steps, I have to be hyper-intentional about the way I spend my energy.

So now, I'm looking for only the very specific people who wants to be in close loop with me, helping me build a feedback loop from early on.

I built projects differently in past, now just want to try another way to start it.

(Also see my other comment - this project is actually a radically open about even its business plan :) It's just not linked to the homepage, for the reason I've explained. )

If you’re like myself, somebody proactively looking for it, you won’t think twice to share your contact, because you’d like to be an early adopter, close to the project’s execution loop. I’m basically looking for people like myself.

And if you’re skeptical, you’ll find my Github and the full whitepaper is already there.

Appreciate the response! Don't mean to make any claims about the legitimacy of the project- I'm sure your intentions are good.

Think I'd recommend a different title next time better indicating the current state. That and maybe replace the whitepaper link with a direct link to the github as it's a frustrating flow to open a PDF to see it's behind a signup wall.
