Uh, "request a demo"? I was expecting a little bit more of juicy info in those pages after reading some bold statements. I can't sign up either (even if you tell me in green letters no credit card is required), sorry. You should have just provided maybe a better overview of the service in the landing page. Dunno, maybe a full-featured video of the revolutionary features described there. I really think a nice detailed video of the unique features of the service would be great to have. It's hard to visualize what you mean with those static screenshots and text.

Yep, I immediately went to see some screens, and all they have are these tiny little things that don't let me see anything. Looks like there's a nice design, but that's it. I can understand that doing a video takes more time, but a nice screenshot tour should be doable. Or even making the current shots clickable to zoom.
The site displays the screenshots small, but the image files are full-size. Until the site creators add click-to-zoom, you can see the screenshots better by right-clicking them and opening them in tabs of their own.
Thank you for your feedback and nice words about the design. As I said in the previous comment, we will work on that video and will keep you posted about it! :)

Meanwhile, feel free to create a free account, I would love to hear your feedback.

Is someone maliciously downvoting OP's comments? Granted a few of them don't say much more than "thanks, will keep you posted" and OP has made 5 HN submissions on Gitcolony over a year (https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=gitcolony.com). But unless I'm missing something, I see nothing downvote worthy here.

I clicked on "Sign in" which took my to Github, where I confirmed. That took me to https://www.gitcolony.com/?error=not_found. When I explicitly revisit https://www.gitcolony.com, then I am still not signed in. The "Sign in" button is still there and if I click on it I am taken to https://www.gitcolony.com/?error=not_found again.
I'm sorry that you are experiencing that issue, can you please send us an email to contact@gitcolony.com so we can try to reproduce it and help you with that? Thanks! :)
