I want to be able to try something without signing up. I'll sign up if it's good.
Gating is part of the growth playbook from ten years ago. It is considered outdated now, where the idea is to demonstrate value first, as you said. Gating makes your conversion rates look good, as it filters out prospects unlikely to convert, but it also reduces the volume of users who might convert.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Maybe gating makes sense for slow growth and so might be appropriate here?
Figure out how to do this without doing that. Obsidian did.
Your positioning could be tightened. Revise your tagline to state your product differentiation. Why shouldn't I use an established product like Notion, Coda, or Obsidian? Don't make users think. If they have to, they'll go with the status quo, not you. I also picked up the lawyer vibe and I think you should lean right into it. You could say Script: the text editor for lawyers , then explain how your UX support lawyer…
I am (mostly) sure it was doing a legitimate OAuth - but how can I tell?
The site has no scrollbar for some reason, so it's hard to navigate.
The HN title talks about interconnected documents, as if it's a wiki or something, but the site doesn't seem to mention that.
We've been working with truly digital documents for decades now, and it's not clear that this adds anything important. It also seems focused on proprietary lock-in, and doesn't have pricing available.
What does "digitally interconnected" mean? Also, out of curiosity, does the legal world still hang on to some obscure version of WordPerfect, or have they made the switch to Word?
As of 2006 (when I left the legal tech world), the transition to Word was already well underway. Law firms hated it, but like everywhere else it was becoming The Way. And before Word, there were no "obscure" versions of WordPerfect; it was very widely used, in and out of the legal industry. Everyone loved WordPerfect because of its ability to tune the final output. Formatting requirements for some court filings are v…
I also like the cleanness of the design and the illustrations are fun - definitely a cut above the usual Corporate Memphis.
However, and this was the deal-breaker for me, there was no mention of the cost or licensing model.
A one point a subscription was mentioned, but there was no link to find out more. I’m not going to download or try an app without knowing the pricing up-front.
It seems like something I'd want, but the site doesn't give enough information about what the product is. It states a few high-level goals, like Office integration, but it doesn't say _how_. Who is the target customer? Some of the features seem interesting and useful, like domain-specific syntax highlighting, Definition tooltips. The site talks about accessibiltity and inclusion, but doesn't expand on what that actua…
Also, I use Word 2010. Will it really integrate with that?
