This has nothing to do with the actual product, which may be great, but... I am so ready for the trend of hyper-animated websites to start dying down.

I scrolled through the whole website, and while it looked great, by the time I got to the end I still had no idea what the product actually offered because my eyes were too busy watching all the little animations to pay attention to the content.

It's not necessarily the color or the animations, I feel the page as a whole doesn't do a great job of communicating what the actual product is/does.

Nice fonts and icons but it fails to bring across the message. A little more text and some screenshots would have gone a long way imho.

It's incredibly low-information. Each time you scroll to a new screenful of information you get about 10-15 words of marketing. Even clicking the "Learn more" doesn't give me any screenshots or videos.
Also that yellow hurts.
that yellow just burned a hole in the back of my eyes
I'm using f.lux and, since it's early here, I thought the site was pink and it actually looked pretty nice.
