This is a service I'm interested in, but by fuck is their website annoying. Instead of having stupid moving rectangles of services you can run on Umbrel, why not just display each service as a paragraph of text, with an icon next to it? No animations, and no rectangles moving across the screen.

These people have put a good deal of effort into their landing screen, unfortunately this effort has made it worse than it would have been if it was simple text descriptions. Please improve this.

I agree, that's my least favorite part of the site as well. We'll update it with a browsable directory of all the available apps in our app store soon.
This would be really useful, as it would allow people to quickly highlight where they would find it useful for them.
Perhaps as a middle ground - keep the autoscrolling rectangles, but let the user intervene and move them?
As a counterpoint, I found it clear, neat and visually appealing.
