Love that gradient! And the product of course ;) But I would consider a Call To Action before fold, right under the first hero image. I can almost promise you - it will generate more sign ups :)

Hey thanks, on both counts :) Glad you like it! I'll make sure to bring up the signup position to our UX guy!

Great. Shoot me an email if you need any help with that kind of stuff. I'm glad to help: marcus[at]karoumi[dot]com

I hate to be that guy, but the guidelines for Show HN threads are clear that submissions should actually be ready for use, and not just landing pages like this. It leaves a negative impression when the box marked "Sign up below" is actually just your survey.

hi! i'm sorry that you feel that way. we're aware of the guidelines and thought about it. we decided to go with "Show HN:" for 2 reasons:

1- The API can be tried, the curl examples can be pasted and they work

2- looking at past examples (such as EasyPost), they seem to follow our pattern

for these reasons we didn't see a problem with using the "Show HN" tag :)
