Agreed. I didn't get passed the homepage. 1. Why not have an anonymous demo page to play around with before asking us to sign up? 2. Why not have a big "Log in with OpenID" button so people can just link in with Google/whatever?
People use OpenID? EDIT: I know people 'Login with Google' and 'Connect with Twitter', but I don't know anyone who dives at 'Login with OpenID'.
Annoyance from the homepage: I don't want to have to watch a video to figure out what you do. Watching a video for me is one step of engagement after I've figured out if I have some basic interest. If I can't establish that immediately, I'll just close the window. Videos can be great for more in depth info, but why not use the space taken up by "A better way to think" (which says nothing) to give a one-line descripti…
I would respectfully say just the opposite. In a 45 second video, they showed the product, I saw someone using it who already knew how to use it and I had no more commitment than clicking "play". In my book, they got it exactly right.
"A Better Way to Think" means nothing to me and is the only other thing to grab my interest. I would have clicked away in about 2 seconds if I didn't come across this on HN.
EDIT: Why not something like "Your Brain. Organized. Everywhere." for a headline? It doesn't seem to be "a better way to think" but a way to "organize things the way you naturally think" [from the video].
I can definitely see myself using this and almost passed it up.
Would that be too difficult to implement at this point?
currently i'm playing with meinmeister for deep-not-taking.
compared to mindmeister one thing hold me back in workflowy: lack of links
what i like: - makes nice use of the space (gets stuff out of the way when zooming in) - clean - works like my text files :)
hmm.. that's more pros then cons :D

Why is this bad? It's a launch website. And it worked because I signed up.
Same, and quickly realized I'll probably never return.

Besides, YouTube is blocked in most offices - like mine.
I'd like more formatting options. (Bold, size, etc.) Also would like to be able to embed media somehow (videos, images, etc.) I'd like to use something like this as a good outlining tool. The expanding of bullets into new pages is great.
