I guess I got carried away with the usual dev stuff, "oh well need an account to keep track of sketches", "oh better require email address so they can reset their password", "hmm better confirm it so bots cant spam sketches and fill my s3 buckets" and so on... I've just gone through the signup process myself - for the nth time, and felt myself that after submitting that first sketch it didn't feel right that the next step is to leave the page and confirm an email address...

I did make the confirmation optional previously, I think first step will be to go back to that and work from there towards a signup-as-an-edge-case approach.

Thank you, you've given me a lot of food for thought.
