Japanese translation complete

We've fully deployed the Japanese translation of the site. We've translated English texts in images to Japanese. You should see it if your browser is set to Japanese or you can access it at  https://signappnow.com/?lang=ja. Again, thank you very much to for helping us with the translation. She wrote a blog post about her experience.

To go back to the English version, click https://signappnow.com/?lang=en. We'll be putting a language selector in the site later.

The second phase involves translating the texts in some images. Thank you very much to for helping us with the translation.

Danish and Japanese translations

We recently got requests for Danish and Japanese translations of SignApp Now. We gladly agreed and started working on internationalizing the site. We asked the help of the users who requested the translations (one from Denmark and one form Japan--Thanks guys!) since we don't have the resources to hire professional translators (we're a bootstrapped startup). We're glad to say phase 1 of the Danish version is up. You should see it now if your browser is set to Danish or you can access it at https://signappnow.com/?lang=da. We're still working on phase 2 of the Danish version, which is to translate the English image texts.

Translation is still ongoing for the Japanese version.

Browser Javascript Disabled? - Part 2

We identified two major issues when your browser's Javascript support is disabled. The first issue is the app is unable to determine your time zone. The app uses Javascript to determine the browser's time zone. The browser's time zone is the same as your computer's time zone. We assume whatever time zone the browser is in, that you are on that time zone. The app uses your time zone for the expiration date of the sign up sheet. Our current workaround for this is to default the time zone to GMT-8 if none is retrieved from the browser. We will fix this in the next update. You will be able to enter your time zone if your browser's time zone is not set.

The second issue is the calendar date picker does not work and you will not be able to set an expiration date. It will default to the "current date plus 5 days." We will fix this in the next update. We will introduce a non-Javascript date picker so you will still be able to enter an expiration date.

The app will notify you when your browser's Javascript support is disabled. It will display a message on the top part of the page. The message is suggesting the app is best experienced with Javascript enabled. It will not prevent you to use the app.

Browser Javascript Disabled?

We noticed there are some users who have Javascript disabled on their browsers when they access the site. Honestly, we haven't tested the site for this. We just found out there are some broken functions when Javascript is disabled. We are now fixing the site to work even when Javascript is disabled. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Update: Email address displayed as image

We just implemented another update to protect your privacy. Your email address is now displayed as an image when you opt to show it. There will be times when you may want people to contact you about your sign up sheet. You can now show your email address without worrying about being spammed.

We are still working on aligning the image to the text beside it, though.

Thank you very much for using our app!

Update: No need to enter your email when signing up

We removed the email field when signing up to keep things simple and for your privacy. You just need to fill up one text field to sign up. You can enter your name or email, or whatever is required, to sign up. It's up to you.
