Is this a for-fun-and-interest project or do you expect to make money off of it?

Because while I'd enjoy taking a gander over the site, I don't want to give you my email address, and if the site is just a free thing I'd kind of expect to be able to read it without giving it to you.

Should've probably clarified that on the website, it's a for-fun-and-interest project.

The standard disclaimers apply, your email won't be sold into slavery or used for anything bad other than a weekly newsletter or something of the sort (aligned with the expectations you had when you signed up).

The standard internet trust applies (read: none).

I've read these disclaimers before and the only thing backing then up is the owners word. Why not make entering your email optional?

It seems that newsletter is operated by Mailchimp - thus you can unsubscribe anytime...
If you don't enter your email, how will they tell you when they go public?
