Is that screenshot the site itself? At first I thought I was seeing some chat app, so Staply must be some sort of browser plugin to connect it all together.

Basically, it looks like Staply is kind of a chat room app with file sharing as part of it. Or not? I was kind of confused.

It looks like Staply solves a problem, but I don't know what that problem is. In your footer next to the copyright you have "We want to see a world where information is never lost or forgotten." -- is this the problem you're solving? Keeping track of information?

The screenshot hints at a sort of shared folder space for placing things for design review and comments.

I would suggest adding a section above "Take a new approach" that tells me the problem I already have before telling me how Staply fixes it.

Where you say "Private" and mention SSL, I think this is really bare-bones privacy. That's more like "Secure" to me. Privacy implies that you wouldn't sell my data, that you would store it encrypted on your servers, and that your servers are secure. It's more than just the transport layer.

Your copy could use some proof-reading: >Forget about looking for a file or a link, in Staply the are always ar your fingertips.

Thank you very much, we were really excited to launch an updated version. May be we did it a bit too early :)

It looks pretty solid. two things:

1) on the pricing page it states: "It means that you will be only able to access all the messages, files and links sent earlier than one month ago. Basically you will be able to access the data sent latest 30 days ago." - This needs cleaning up.

"It means that you will be able to access all the messages, files and links sent in the last 30 days." would read better. As it is written it sounds like I can access history 2 months ago but not 5 days ago.

2) Lose the По-русски unless they are in a Russian speaking part of the world. I hate to say it, but you will lose customers in the US. There is a certain amount of xenophobia here, as well as the nationalistic "american exceptionalism", and other media fed concerns about Russian hackers stealing identities etc..

I'm not crazy about the main photo. It doesn't tell your story. And curious why you need to have the mixpanel badge at the bottom right? What does it do for you?

Thank you, we wanted to make it feel more personal and it actually increased our conversion to beta signup quite a bit.
