Please just let people try it. No signup flow, no barriers. Just let us use it. If it's as good as you say, we'll want to save what we've created; you can get us to sign up then.

Also, you should really user-test landing pages like this. I get that you love the design and content. But the page is not for you. Book 5 people in your target market and study how it works for them. Then revise and book another 5. Repeat until people are actually engaging with the topic in the way you want.

I agree with you, our long-term goal is to use the approach you mentioned. We even considered it for the launch but thought it is to much work. But I realized that it worth more to make it as easy as possible to try out a web app, if you ask for feedback. So for the future and if possible I will do it differently.

Thanks for the feedback, for now we are pretty happy with the engagement of the landing page.
