Great point.

What we (now with hindsight incorrectly) wanted to show was that you can enter you email and then NOT have to verify it and interact with the actual code snippet you can put into your app or website. Since we are in webflow and if you used a live snippet with a live App key, we assumed users would want to come back if they wanted access to it again. So, we figured most (and we have had a few hundred) would enter their email and then see a fully working snippet, with an API key, ready to roll in webflow and think that was neat.

Now, having a few hundred people on the site, I do think letting users see the snippet and then "request" an APP key with their email is the right answer. We could not have come to this conclusion without this launch.

Appreciate it! - Rob from Rownd
