Explain what the product does before asking for a try
From 2 comments
The big confusion is that nothing even says what this is truly about before you say "here, try it out". I can understand that having to spin up a linux container per user means…
Vendan on HNI would at least add a demo video or something to show how the product works. I had the same experience and was confused why the demo would require me to signup. At best, it came…
