> Sorry, our online demo only works in Google Chrome for now. 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.

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

I guess big percentage of users who visit that page never get idea that it is desktop app.

First lines (1200px height) don't mention desktop app.

Then there is call to action button, which says that we don't support you.

Most users then close tab.

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.

I don't understand, on my mobile it's mentioned on the top of the page that is a desktop app.

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

Yeah, me too, however stuff only works for one specific browser and the video works for uhm.. all of them?

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?

runs on Windows (7+), Linux and OS X (10.8+).

I salute this initiative. A free 3-7 days trial would be so welcomed though, dispite the online demo which I assume it is not entirely the same as the desktop app. Looks good otherwise, and love the comments from other people as well. Love the price too.
