good site, room for improvement

Thanks - our major priority is to build Volley for mobile. We designed the experience with mobile in mind from the beginning but sought to validate on the web. I'd welcome your suggestions for improvements

What exactly is Volley? It's not very clear as to what the purpose is from this page alone, and I couldn't find any links to learn more.

Why would I signup for something based on one line of text?

Love the interface, but the landing page should be more informative.

Maybe experiment with showing the cards before actually giving my email.

Like by questions, Steve Jobs asks me what's my name, I give it, ... Same for email, gmail, ...

BTW, I post it here because I couldn't post an answer to your card.

Volley gets you introductions to people you're looking for. We do this by helping you connect with people over actionable requests (Eg. “Looking to grab coffee with a developer for advice around building a NodeJS API”). These requests are sent to and acted on by a community built of your existing contacts and their contacts. By completing requests, the user gains karma (similar model to stack overflow) that could be spent on things like featured requests (think: featured listing on ebay) or held for community status.

Took me a while to realise that I should click on the tiny icon in the bottom left corner to see an example on what a profile will look like. (I didn't even know it's a site for profile up to that point) I would at least add a short description or tagline to the landing page.
