When will anonymous (guest) accounts be available, and how will they work? Will there be a simple way to promote them to regular user accounts?

As you may know, HN never fails to complain about having to create a new user account to try a service out. Sometimes when you can try a service out before signing up, it's a better experience.

We're hoping Q2 release, and we're dogfooding it now. Our dashboard will soon allow full navigation with a guest account, and we'll use those learnings to deliver a polished product. Guests get a JWT like any other user, but the token is denoted as being a guest, and your application can handle that however you like.
