My personal thoughts;

When there are quite a few well-established media storage/player solutions/toolings, you should look into starting your marketing page with why you are different or better than the others. Most reasons for people moving between tools is the lack of the features in the ones that users are using and hoping it is in the new one.

Of course, if you can get a lot of testimonials then that should work better.

This looks cool but I was thrown by how the heatmaps were organized; having seasons as rows and episodes as columns would be more natural to me.

Feel free to open up an issue on GitHub, maybe we introduce an option on how heatmaps are shown :)

You're right and I am and was hesitant to put Media Hoarder directly against established solutions on the front page.

I created a blog post about this when v1.0.0 was released (maybe a bit too hidden): https://media.hoarder.software/blog/why-media-hoarder

I can't wait until he's so successful that he abandons all of his original users/customers, and tries to become some sort of third tier streaming solution that can only license movies that used to be completely unknown outside of Walmart "2 DVDs for $5" bargain bins.
