This looks very nice. But please move the video to the top of the page. Always remember engage first, then offer people a chance to try it out in the browser.

Also I had to reach the bottom of the page to find out that it was a desktop app. Is it built in Electron? One last tip if this works as well as it looks in the demo you could easily double your price.

Sorry, if you don't bother supporting Firefox or Safari, then I don't bother looking your website either.

(No, I don't ask you to support IE 8)

Edit: Didn't know it was desktop application. Explanation below.

Ditto on the price, that seems ridiculously cheap. The 3 computer limit puts me off, I know I personally have paid more just to get an unlimited "all the computers you personally own" licence. (Alfred App call this their Mega Supporter tier, it's nearly twice the price of their Single User offering.)

The "Run Browser Demo" button engages me much better than video. I very rarely have patience for linear media.

In all fairness, it's a desktop application, not a browser application. So I wouldn't expect them to support every browser.

I think there's probably a way to make your point without the unnecessary snark. They clearly say "for now", which means support is coming.

And since it's a desktop app, they should mention which platform they support - I'm sure they support OS X and Windows, but what about Linux?

Especially since it fires up quickly, and doesn't require an account.
