Just signed up, couple thoughts:

- I think it is pretty clear what you do, so that is good

- The left right buttons on the homepage weren't working for me

- after signing up its weird to see some red text "You're 33% of the way there...", it makes me think something went wrong.

- its also a little weird that I have to add my e-mail address again to create my first notification, maybe that should be pre-populated with the address I signed up with to save a step when signing up.

- I got 2 e-mails every time (signup, e-mail verification, notification)

But it looks cool, I will give it a try on some of our pages, nice work.

Thanks! I'll check in to the duplicate message thing. I'm glad that it was pretty clear what it does. The red text was to guide you through the process of setting up your first notification but obviously it needs some work. The reason it asked for your email address a second time was that you can receive notifications on other email addresses, not just the one you sign up with - but now that you point it out it does seem dumb that you have to add it a second time and makes more sense for me to automatically add your primary address.
