EDIT: This was an inadvertent copywriting/cms mistake. I'm leaving the original below for context only.

  >>> OLD POST FOLLOWS <<<
So while reading the landing page I came across a keyword that I'm always conscious of when considering anything AI related... you mentioned PRIVACY

Privacy. That's Struct.

The Struct app is the result of a meticulous design process, one focused on minimalism and efficiency. Our interface is deliberately subtle to ensure a distraction-free environment for work. It's completely brand-agnostic, free from any disruptive colors or logos.

We have lots of keyboard shortcuts for fast navigation, and a dark mode to reduce eye strain in low-light environments. We’re also committed to meeting users wherever they are — the app works on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

Now... I'm hoping this was just a copywriting fail, perhaps you trusted some ChatGPT output a little more than you should and as a startup you don't exactly have heaps of spare people to re-read things that seem good to go... But the problem is that Privacy is a pretty important detail when it comes to communications between people, a lot of us like to know who else can read our messages, where they're sent, how they're stored... that sort of thing.

So I keep reading, and re-read it a few times... and nope sorry... I cant connect the line in the H1, to anything in the following two paragraph tags. Your two paragraphs about how minimal and easy to use the app is... have nothing to do with privacy... and the conspicuous absence of anything about privacy after a statement saying how about privacy you are, has immediately made me incredibly suspicious of your company, and its otherwise interesting product...

Since you might still be reading comments jdplex hopefully you see this... You might want to fix your copy before it puts off more potential customers... But unless its a whole bunch of missing extra information about actual good privacy related, you've probably already lost me as a possible customer due to too much suspicion.

Crud! I'm sorry, you're so right. I screwed up in my CMS.

Thanks for catching this copy error. I read this thing a hundred times and got blind to it. grrr

Don't be too hard on yourself, editing text is hard...

I'm pretty sure almost everyone will make the the mistake of leaving something out or adding something in the wrong place at least once. The human brain is pretty good at doing clever things like a gap in words with what it thinks should be there, or skipping over little things that shouldn't... or unscrambling usftf that is just completely up.

;-)

Also I edited my comment reflect that it was a mistake.

oh man, thanks for the kind words!

Scrambled or unscrambled I'm sure my brain can find a way to screw it up :)

Thanks, techdragon for helping us identify and fix this issue.
