On: Introducing Quip

The signup process is totally screwed up, in an infinity loop kind of way.

I signup: email, name, password. Sends me a confirmation email. I click on confirmation link. Sends me again to the same signup page, only this time the fields are completed. The only available next step is to click on "Next" again, and the email verification is sent again, sending me to the same completed fields page...

It happens on both web and iOS. I guess I'll have to stick with Google Docs and Pages.

It would have taken a lot of convincing to switch me off Google Docs in the first place.

This is happening to me too. I can't signup.

If you email me your account information ( powera@quip.com ) I can investigate this.

Thanks for offering to help, but I've gone ahead and deleted the app. I'll stick with Pages and Google Docs, a signup process to use a word editor isn't for me.

Didn't you signup for google docs as well?

[antr → mars]

I signed up to Gmail in 2004, but not to Google Docs. At least voluntarily, you know what I mean.

So you prefer to use a product that signs you up involuntarily? Interesting.

It would definitely be interesting if that were what I meant. Unfortunately it isn’t.
