Initial login impressions:

First of all, log me in right away when I sign up. I was confused that I just got redirected back and didn't notice the green text telling me it worked.

I like that you don't ask me too much information. However, I personally prefer to use my email to log in. That has the added benefit of you only having to ask me two things at signup time: my email, and a password (no password confirm). If I forget my password, I just reset it later with my email.

I would definitely highlight that litlift.com is a tool to help you write a book, but not where you actually go to write a book. I was confused for a bit what the "description" was under my new book, I thought that's where you expected me to type my novel (in hindsight, this was dumb of me).

It's very cool though. I think if I were to write a novel, this type of approach would fit my engineering brain better.
