While it might make sense to verify email addresses when the app is in full production (but probably does not), when the goal is to get feedback, putting friction into the process is (at least in my case) counter productive. At the very least, I am going to switch browser tabs to process the email and then wind up on another page to confirm it before I get back to looking at what I wanted to see. In between...well...I've got Hacker News open and there's probably something more interesting there than dealing with email and thinking about the possibility that I am signing up for spam. And that's about the best case for using an email sign up.
All that for an email address rather than usage data about the product. I know email addresses have some value, but the valuable addresses are those of engaged users and an email address != a user (let alone engaged user).
My random advice is to consider what problem email signup solves for potential users and whether or not it drives away the kind of users that might be good for the site.
Good luck.
Maybe placing email entry and verification into the relevant technical context might make that clearer. It would also keep users on the page longer, by which I mean that even the legitimate need for email and verification entails: Taking the pure gold of someone who has actually landed on the site and sending them somewhere else to conduct an unpleasant administrative task. Now the caveat is that I hate email in general because my inbox is a todo list of things I have not done (at the very least I have to process everything in it). There are exceptions for actual conversations, but that's not what a confirmation email is.
Anyway, I will check it out and thanks again.
No idea what that says since I read only english, but i'm guessing it's a bug.
But when I click the link it requires me to fill in 2 fields and verify my email.
Maybe we have different definitions of "instantly"
