There's a link to an "online demo" but then it asks for your login info or for you to register. That isn't really a demo then, is it?

That's the brick wall I hit too. I'm not giving them my email address for a demo, and I'm not logging in with a social media service.

I suppose I could download it myself and try it out that way, but that's a ton of effort for something I may not even want in the end.

Rocket.Chat devs, if you're listening, please provide a way to demo the program without giving up real information.

Agreed. If you still want to use it however just enter somerandomstring@mailcatch.com and then check the mail at http://somerandomstring.mailcatch.com/. Very useful when you want to bypass such useless logins, just know that the mail is public.

Thanks, I didn't want to deal with one of those mailinator-type accounts but this is even easier. Adding it to my "cool tools" bin. :)
