Agreed. We had planned to allow use of the product before registration, but had (and still have) higher priority features. You're right that we should at least add Facebook connect ASAP. But we have had a pretty crazy conversion rate around 1/3 (to date, I'm not sure if hacker news traffic will convert at the same rate since it's less qualified).
The tool should be the homepage. It should just start asking me to fill in TODOs when i got to lazymeter.com. None of this registration stuff. Just super cookie me and then say "click here to link to facebook to save your list".

Absolutely agree. Why would I sign up without having first seen how it could benefit my life?
