This is one of the best examples of someone taking the Hacker News beating of a lifetime and turning it into something great.

I have to say that original site was nothing but confusing. After reading the entire thing I had no idea what was going on or what I was looking at, I could barely tell it was a product I could use.

This new page is easy to understand, I get everything I need at a glance without even scrolling. Really well done.

The product itself still strikes me as having a naming problem. The name feels dated, and most people don't want to learn the new terminology. But it does seem like a great tool.

Agreed. Great update—I finally understand the product.

I also agree with the last line from greggh, too. Calling the things "Loops" is a bit weird and jargony. Something like "cards" (and stacks, being groups of cards?) might seem more natural?
