I've said this many times but I dislike that I have to make an account before I even know what the product is or if I will like it enough to justify an account. I hunted around for a sec and I could not find anything that would let me see a real demo or example of the product that didn't require making an account.
Doing something like Airtable[0] is much more effective (not affiliated just a product I use), where I can go from the landing page to embedded product demos that require no login in seconds. It would be great to have something embedded like this or more detailed screencaps at least which showcase the product prior to me having to sign in.
I just tried it; looks like AirTable added a login page when you click "Use Table". Previously, I think you could play around with them without the login. I know Ive done it
Interesting comment and felt like I was supposed to find this! My team is actually working on something along those lines so companies can directly embed a "demo-able" version of their product whether its on their website, sales outreach, or share through emails without opening up their actual product to everyone.
Check us out (still in beta but I want to practice what I preach and get my own product on our page once its a bit more polished): https://www.getlancey.com/
