Well... I loved the video. It actually doesn't have to show what it's actually for... you just have to make people interested enough so they will give it a try and then make sure that they learn about all the great new stuff as they use it. But again, you are going to hear all type of comments, positive or negative, just try to not take all of them for granted. Keep doing your stuff based on your guts and metrics. Go…

Really appreciate this. Building this is has been challenging.

The CC form only accepts a 3-digit CSC which prevents me from signing up with my Amex.

I agree the input should allow 4 digits, but you should still be able to use the three digit code on the back of the AMEX instead.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm definitely intrigued. We've used everything under the sun and always end up falling back to Asana (we're a small design agency). Looking forward to trying this out! Edit: You guys might want to be a bit more clear that you're requiring a credit card to signup for beta access, even if you're not charging for 30 days.

Thanks for your feedback. The current flow allows me to see who's interested in the product, but may not be interested in paying. If the price was front and center from the get-go, I wouldn't have ever known of numerous users who showed interest.

FWIW, I'd be quite interested in paying, but I'm hesitant to provide my credit card to a website with no track-record just to evaluate their product. I'd happily provide my paypal info though.

I like the look of this, and have attempted to sign up to the beta. However, I get this cryptic message about my (valid) credit card: "You must supply either a card, customer, pii data, or bank account to create a token."

Really sorry to hear this. Standby, I'm looking into it.
