Would be much better if users could try it without login, and only if they really like it and want to save their work than would be a login required, or when they start to use it professionally.
I think for demo/show purposes, lowering the "entry" is always better, as it will get more people to really try it.

I wish there was a way to auto-convert these snippets for popular text editors. Somehow copy-pasting html from web-pages sounds so... 20th century.
"Hack away on an app and have it look halfway decent" is a very, very poor attitude that portrays laziness and a disdain for the user. Halfway decent is the same as halfway sucks.
Take a bit of time and style it at least. Change the colors, put a header image on it - something. Anything.
Or... take a little more time and actually learn CSS3 and media queries... then write your own style sheets. It's really not that hard and you'll end up with a style sheet where YOU KNOW every line and every class. When you get there (again, not really that hard), it's faster/better than SaSS or LESS. Seriously.
EDIT: A thought I forgot:
I used to be a Bootstrap hater, but now I'm quite enamored with the project since a good SASS port has been maintained.
Bootstrap's biggest accomplishment (aside from its mere existence) is that it placed in the hands of a lot of different people — devs, designers, newbies, etc — a collection of modular css patterns and clean, semantic markup examples, like the ones you see on this link.
"But your markup shouldn't be littered with presentation classes!!!" — Bullshit. Your markup definitely shouldn't look like the mess of classes you find in Drupal output, but <div class="navbar">…<ul class="nav"> are a sane way to markup page elements. These classes say what the elements are, and could be styled an infinite number of ways depending on what kind of device its displayed on.
Likewise, Bootstrap's CSS is an excellent way to learn modular CSS patterns. ".dropdown {}, .dropdown-menu {}" is a much better approach than something like ".dropdown ul". What if that UL changes? "UL is a lousy element here!" says a future dev on the team.
I'll agree that .pull-left and .span-9 are terrible, but not everything's perfect. It'd have to use SASS instead of LESS before it was perfect, anyway ducks.
Allowing CSS/LESS (with a guideline to only use the built-in color variables) could be really cool too – I'll often have to add one or two lines of CSS to tweak a nice component.
I will be working hard on making this a community instead of one author site, I do have a CMS that I build for this and it shouldn't be too hard to make this a community, it's just that I have to squeeze that in a full time and part time job, I made Bootsnipp thanks to being sick and absent from work for 2 days...
I appreciate your comments, please promote the site further and I will work hard on making it more personal to each of you.
Never thought of doing the buttons on page 2 with an icon on top and a text underneath.
