Currently we show a popup for newsletter signup and to download the Redbeard framework you need to provide your name/email. Which we collect.

The download link is emailed out. Myself and co-founder debated the merits of this . He is of the mind, getting emails is important. I think getting people using the framework and lowering barriers to in order to do that is far more pressing. What would you suggest?
