Couple of quick comments on the landing page.

  * The content in the video is too small to see what's going on without going full screen and then it's blurry
  * The color choices need to be redone
The grey text on grey background in the sidebar and the calendar are nearly impossible for me to read and I don't have an issue with color blindness or anything. There's just not enough contrast and the typeface is very thin/fine.

The red text on the sidebar is glaring and also hard to read. The red chosen is also used in the calendar and makes it difficult to read the date or anything else that might be in the calendar square.

I couldn't get past this to give it a longer look it was just too off putting.

The page itself isn't yet optimized for mobile. That's coming soon. If you view the video in full screen mode, it's a lot clearer. There'll be an option to select the color scheme in a future release.
I'm looking at it on a macbook pro 17". I can't see what's happening in the video because the recorded area is too big and the video plays by default too small. This isn't a mobile issue, and on desktop when going fullscreen the video is blurry.

For me there won't be a "future" release because the landing page itself (the looks of the app) turned me off. The color scheme is garish, at best.

I'm not trying to be rude just give very honest feedback.
