Heey this looks interesting.

Wow, that looks good, I will download that

"Create an account to download these Free Goods." popup appears.

Oh goddamn it, "Free" eh, oh well, I will go back to browsing the other stuff so I will just close...this..popup...where is the close button!? All the preview boxes have the little X, why not this?

I am not impresssed.

View on HN

Hit Esc. That works for most dialogs created from jQuery ;)

Yea, clicking outside the box also works but the suspicious part of me (triggered mainly by the original bait and switch of "Free stuff") wonders why they don't include the x on that popup screen

But my left hand is on my chin, and my right hand is on the mouse, and the Esc key is alllll the way over there.

I found my RSI got exponentially worse when I lean on my elbows.

It does have a close button - in exactly the same shade and position as the preview dialogs.

Interesting, I find it hard to believe that they updated their UI inside of 2 hours in response to a random comment on HN but I can guarantee that that was not there when I made my original post.

We did :) Thanks for your feedback rurounijones, we're listening.

Thanks a lot for the site...As an indie iOS dev I find it very userful!

Bahaha, hats off for the quick iteration. Wish the registration was still optional :p

[EDIT] Saw the other post about how this was sent as part of an email to existing users which rather makes this entire thread a bit harsh.
