A few thoughts just on the home page:

Love the design overall. Copy is quirky and humorous, but still feels professional. I agree with others that the vertical navigation is probably not the best. For some reason that is probably irrational, I hardly ever play product videos but love screenshots. Maybe that's just me.

In this HN post, you've given the app context. ie "Get stuff done collaboratively, from small tasks to complex projects." and "a GTD web app that allows you to manage all your to-dos and projects in a simple visual interface that emulates "pegging" 3x5 cards to a board." That explains a lot for me. However, that information isn't obvious when landing on the homepage. The "How it works" hints at it, but not as well as what you've written here IMO.

Minor things: Horizontal scroll slightly annoying. I'm using latest Safari (5.0.5) on OS X, 1440 x 990. The lined page behind the Add Cards to Get Stuff Done box doesn't line with the text for me. Slightly harsh on legibility.

That said, I'm looking forward to trying it out when I've got some time!

Agreed - we can do a better job at clarity on the initial page. And the legibility issue, I'll take a look at that. Thanks for the thoughtful commentary.
