With no info at all it feels like a dare.

Storylane is an effort to create a library of human experiences. technically it works like a publishing platform built socially from the ground up.

I like the sound of "A library of human experiences" - it grabs me more than "People sharing things that matter".

Perhaps there is an example or demo you could make public, to give less adventurous visitors (like me) an idea of what it does? (edit: like the /gauss link I just noticed - now I like it)

I'm all for stealth but IMO this is too stealth.

Thanks for the feedback.

We reasoned that the signed-in experience is a lot richer than what we could show signed-out on the landing page, but perhaps we should not take it to such an extreme :)

Point taken, and it seems to be a common thread. We need to think about how to do this better. The reason we care about registrations is because we look at it as a community not a marketplace for content.

Well if by richer you mean know just what the hell it is, then yeah! :)
