No screenshots on the main page. The embedded video isn't clickable on mobile (iOS Safari). Fluffy marketing speak throughout the page.

What is this exactly?



Agreed: I was hoping for a succinct description of the product, but only found empty marketting words. I am not yet interested in who uses the product, but in what the product is. Don't try to tell me it will change my life before I actually know what it is.

Granted, I only skimmed the page, and the website made the experience painful, as it is full of fade—in animations, so I felt like I was scrolling an empty wwbsite (mobile Firefox). The experience was annoying, so I left.

I would likely have stopped scrolling had I encountered a screenshot or a relevant section title. I feel websites like this are super common nowadays, and generic enough to be applied to many different products.


I read the page top to bottom. I don't know what it is. Is it an online OneNote?

I don't know what the things you build with it are for.


Yeah, and there already is of course the on-line onenote from MS...


Ouch! I was not aware of the unclickable video. And ha, fluffy marketing speak! I will be the first one to admit that the landing page isn't perfect. We will probably go through a dozen more iteration until we get the message right.


If you are connected to the developers, as a side-side note there is the "common" issue with:

>You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.

I actually do not want to run any app, I only want to have a quick look to your homepage/site to see what it is about, and if javascript is needed (which is of course OK) something like "This site needs javascript enabled" would be IMHO better, and even better if that was accompanied by a brief text/description of your product/contents.


Yeah. What the heck does this do? What distinguishes this from a thousand other shareable notebooks?

Needs more screenshots and less abstract drawings of the UI.
