Product looks pretty cool. However, I'll give you a -5/10 for another tiny font size and font weight product page. Even Apple who, as far as I can tell, originated that style, doesn't go for such extremes. There's no way anyone on a large screen is going to read the minuscule body copy. "I really love how the tiny font almost blends into the background and forces me to squint", said no one ever. I don't think the vid…

This is so interesting. How differently people perceive and understand words and things. I'm not talking only about your comment, i'm talking about all HN comments here.

By saying anywhere we meant any location, that means any specific Dragdis folder (that creates organizing) or (soon to come) apps folder.

Thanks for your comment!

What I assume is the background video bluescreened my windows 7 machine. Yikes! All I saw was video artifacts begin to form on the page and then POOF!

At first glance, it's pretty but distracting. I had a hard time deciding whether to focus on the video behind the words or the words themselves.

Got ya! Thanks!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Agree. Why you guys don't just embed it as expandable sidebar on your website to get real taste how Dragdis works?

I bet they don't want to scare away those using a browser that requires a plugin for Dragdis to work.

Maybe. But that could evolve in plugin for websites (think Disqus) which can help them grow.

The fewer words you use, the more that tends to happen.

The videos were super choppy for me. Maybe you could preload some percentage of the videos before they start to play?

The marquee video lags.

I do feel like the landing page adequately communicates what the product is.

Overall, interesting product that I'd like to check out!

No Google+, no Twitter, no Facebook. How do I sign up?

You can do it with email. Finding the button? :)

Weird. I completely missed that.
