Summary

The "Sign up for free" button is disabled on the Superhuman acquisition announcement page:
https://rows.com/blog/post/rows-is-joining-superhuman

Description

On the page announcing Rows' acquisition by Superhuman, the "Sign up for free" button in the header and footer is disabled.

This creates a poor user experience because:

  1. The button is visible but non-functional
  2. Users might think the website has a technical problem
  3. It's unclear if this is intentional given the upcoming shutdown

Expected Behavior

Given that Rows is shutting down on May 31, 2026, the button should either:

  1. Redirect to Superhuman: https://superhuman.com/
  2. Redirect to Coda: https://superhuman.com/products/coda
  3. Or be hidden entirely if no redirect is desired

Current Behavior

Header button HTML:

<a class="_3C39E _1zl45 _1Ud6A _1xJeX iuPOM" 
   title="Sign up for free" 
   aria-disabled="true" 
   history="[object Object]" 
   href="/#">
  <span>Sign up for free</span>
</a>

Key issues:

  • aria-disabled="true" - Button is marked as disabled for accessibility
  • href="/#" - Link points nowhere (dead link)
  • Users cannot click or interact with the button

Suggested Fix

Replace the disabled button with a redirect to Superhuman/Coda:

<a href="https://superhuman.com/products/coda">Sign up for free</a>

This would:

  • Maintain a functional UX on the announcement page
  • Drive traffic to the new platform
  • Avoid confusion about whether the site is broken
