Straight flow of thought:

Try it for free - cool. What's happened? I'm at a login screen. This isn't sign up. There is no sign up link here. Let's go back. Back isn't working! Oh, new tab opened (why do that?)

Back to main page, let's look for signup again. Nope. Back to 'Try it for free'. Oh, there is a 'signup', but it's in a really pale font and doesn't look like a link. Make account (sigh)

Learn to use NubiDo - double click me. Double clicking makes a box slide in from the side. Am I supposed to just play around with this?

Maybe I have to double-click on the yellow box at the left hand side? Nope, single clicked, and it is gone. How do I learn how to use nubido now? Click around a bit trying to find 'bring back finished tasks', nothing. I can't find out how to use nubido. I'm leaving. (End of session)

There are quite a lot of pain points there. I genuinely at the end don't know how I'm suppose to learn how to use nubido.. is the assumption I'll just click around and pick it up?

Bonus comment about me using your product:

I know you aren't going to want to hear this, but I suspect too many people have got burnt by task managers disappearing on short notice. You (in my opinion) have to be clear up front about how I'm not going to lose all my data when you pack up.

At the very least you need a way of me getting all my data out.

I just use a Trello board for my personal todo lists, it's simple and I know it won't be going away anytime soon. You can add attachments, due dates and all sorts of nice little things in a card. I use it to manage projects with collaborators too so everything is in one place which is nice for me.
