I apologise in advance if this seems inflammatory, I'm not trying to start an internet argument here, I'm just being honest about my first impressions of this app.

Of all things, the spaceman in a car was what put me off this, as I straight away felt like anyone who would use that as art must be some kind of Elon Musk superfan. And then the buzzwords web3, blockchain and *coin made me turn away completely.

I'll say one nice thing - I like the live preview of the app on the front page that is interactive and actually works. More web apps should do this

Thanks for the feedback, we are currently working on a new landing page. The images that you mentioned were put there to represent the wide usage of Open Source code in all walks of life. Also I agree with the buzzwords, even though they are true and not just buzzwords for Gitopia, I understand how it might put devs off (given the wide scam/spam associated with them). We will fix it soon.

Thanks, it was put up there to show that Gitopia is open source and is being developed on Gitopia. Also that we are not just an idea or whitepaper, the app is live and working.
