The signup page has a steep price to pay. Maybe just setup the login and then ask for profile information once users are in?

Asking for a specific date of when someone started writing is a little daunting. Maybe just have a year? Not sure what the information is for.

Also the terms of service I'm agreeing to leads to a 404 ;)

I've recently gotten in to writing some poetry so I'm super interested in this project! I hope you guys can really get this to kick off.

edit: I would add, you need a real landing page. Something that has examples of features or results of collaboration. This is pretty similar although a microcosm of HitRecord, so maybe check that out for some inspiration.

Thanks for the feedback, we want the site/app to have an exclusivity feel to it, hence no landing page, but a description of what the site is about is underway

I get the appeal of that. I wonder though if it make sense for a website built on collaboration to be exclusive? Not that those things are mutually exclusive, but it's similar to the right click to steal issue. If people want to steal something they will, so it's not worth sacrificing the user experience here (probably); similarly, if the exclusive feel prevents people from signing up there will be less collaboration.

I guess it partly comes down to what is meant by collaboration. Is it writing together? Is it just feedback like comments or Genius style annotations? I really like the idea of either. These questions and others the users had here could be answered on the landing page. If you guys are interested in more feedback as you progress feel free to hit me up!
