It asks me to log in but I can't find where to sign up originally. the TRY DRAFT icon takes me to the login page. I'm happy to give more stars if I can find where to sign up.

Nice and helpful extension! Also using it to write a new text by clicking on the bookmark made https://draftin.com/documents/new. Certainly the office mates were inspirational and supportive!
