In order for someone to give The Project (Min Packning) a try it was required to register an account and provide a valid e-mail address. This is an obstacle, so I wanted to add a way for people to try the service without registering. It was actually very easy.

First release of The Project
I released the first incarnation of The Project yesterday; please visit MinPackning.se! Unfortunately it’s not so useful if you can’t read Swedish.
My first AJAX!
