We should be online again now. I am sorry for the inconvenience. We hope we can still get your feedback.

Consider a simpler page as index, 15Mb javascript only is a tad too much, both for you and your visitors

Agreed. We will optimize it. The website should be live now again by the way.

Promo video looks very promising. As others have noted getting blank pages more often than not. Google oauth registration doesn't seem to complete

:) thank you. The website should be up now. We were down for a half hour sadly. We managed to scale up our resources now.

This is neat and like the intro. If you don't mind sharing what is your front-end ui stack (for example, for building the user interface, navigation, panes, etc).

Thank you :) no worries.

We are using React.JS, Apollo and GraphQL.

For the text editor we are using Slate which is pretty good. And other than that we use emotion for styling :)

Our backend is Go, Postgres and Couchbase.

Thanks for letting us know. Weird. Just tested and it worked here. We just scaled up more resources, so maybe it should be better now if you hot reload. Are you logged in? :)
