I cannot add my own categories without going through a login process. While I can imagine a future in which logging in might create value for me, the present is such that the value proposition of creating an account is not sufficient for me to do so. It's not clearly worth giving your site push access directly via my email or indirectly via social media login.
All the short term benefits of a login accrue to you, not to me. And it impedes your message about your product because it sends me to other screens and my email inbox. To put it another way, the user experience of playing around with the site is:
I close the window without satisfying my curiosity...even though I landed on your site and tried to use it.No -> Gimme -> Busy work -> Spam?Good luck.
Thanks for the feedback. Would definitely look into reducing the friction to the current flow.
