Not to be too on the nose, but I'm a little too ADHD to sit through a video demo as the only explanation of the product. I wish you had at least enough info above the fold for me to know the basics of what it is this does.

It’s a simple pomodoro timer. No disrespect to the dev.
We don't use pomodoro technique, but yes we keep it as simple as a pomodoro timer
Noted! I'll put a bit more info for those who don't like video demos.
Sorry for the pile on, but I second that. I also nope out on video explanations. For me it severely hampers my ability to recall the information presented.

With text I can actually pull the image back up in my mind and look at it (it might be a little blurry, but often times I can resolve what I'm looking for). With video that ability is mostly lost. My brain just doesn't store and retrieve that information the same way, apparently. It's like text makes it mostly intact to cold storage, but the only thing in cold storage about the video is metadata.

Took in your feedback in, we've changed the website and added some more information.
