Great progress, congrats! Your site design is really fantastic. Not just the look but the demo video, Get Started call to action, etc.

Interesting story there. We'd get emails saying: Why can't we see a working demo of PadPressed? We did, but it just wasn't clear enough. So, I rewrote the site copy over the weekend to highlight that like whoa.

Jason, thanks for articulating "show progress." That is really profound and applies in many areas of life. I've seen a lot of posts about "iterate" and such, but none of that directly attacked the old advertising slogan "you never get a second chance to make a first impression," until you did.

Agreed- I really dig the design.

However, one little nitpick: the copyright and credit text at the bottom of the footer are killing me with the text shadow. My eyes strained to make out the characters.
