We didn't think about signup being a barrier, I'll bring this up in our next sprint at the possibility of removing signup / signin altogether. Thank you for the feedback!

It is a barrier, you can probably see it in your page analytics. A good way to implement is to let me play with the database a little, and then if I want to save or something ask me to make an account.

It's not that it's a barrier, but it's unclear that you need an account before being able to use the site.

I clicked on the PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch buttons a few times, the page seemed to flash for a second and then... nothing.

But as [lifekaizen explained](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24569307), no signup with then the option to save when signing in would be even better.
