The landing page does a horrible job selling it.

First, the entire "Open the dev console for a demo" is cute, but I missed it on the first two views. Just include a regular screenshot.

Second, it isn't even remotely clear what it actually does. It just makes `console.log` a bit prettier? Why should I care?

Third, things like "works in both environments", "chainable API", and "configurable" aren't features. Those are at best implementation details. Again, why should I care?

If you want me to care, show me what problem it solves. If I can't see within 15 seconds how it makes my life better, I'll have already closed the browser tab.

Good point. I should make it more clear what advantages it has over other libraries. The main one you likely won't find great support in other libraries is node and browser. Most only do one or the other.
