I tried the demo, but it's actually a tutorial. I got bored and pressed the X. (This happens most of the times. In many sites I had to look for the tutorial and take it later.) In this case, if I close the tutorial the page goes back to the login screen. I'd like to play with the tool for a while, perhaps disable save of close it after 5 minutes or use other restriction.

Fake edit: I can try it! Just one part. Just don't click the X. I still don't like that clicking the X close the whole project. Perhaps add a confirmation.

Hey- cheers for the feedback.

So aren't tutorials and demos very similar. Would you prefer a video, less interactive, or something else?

OK- so like. Would it be better if we just scrap the demo and just have users sign in and join (for free, of course).

Did you end up messing around with it?

I prefer demos. Just press buttons randomly and hope the best. As I said, many times I have to go back to the tutorial.

I don't like creating accounts just to try it. I prefer a free demo, perhaps with some restriction like no saving.

Sorry, not enough time. I'll try to spare some time in the weekend.
