Couple of quick comments on the landing page.

  * The content in the video is too small to see what's going on without going full screen and then it's blurry
  * The color choices need to be redone
The grey text on grey background in the sidebar and the calendar are nearly impossible for me to read and I don't have an issue with color blindness or anything. There's just not enough contrast and the typeface is very thin/fine.

The red text on the sidebar is glaring and also hard to read. The red chosen is also used in the calendar and makes it difficult to read the date or anything else that might be in the calendar square.

I couldn't get past this to give it a longer look it was just too off putting.

The page itself isn't yet optimized for mobile. That's coming soon. If you view the video in full screen mode, it's a lot clearer. There'll be an option to select the color scheme in a future release.

Straight flow of thought:

Try it for free - cool. What's happened? I'm at a login screen. This isn't sign up. There is no sign up link here. Let's go back. Back isn't working! Oh, new tab opened (why do that?)

Back to main page, let's look for signup again. Nope. Back to 'Try it for free'. Oh, there is a 'signup', but it's in a really pale font and doesn't look like a link. Make account (sigh)

Learn to use NubiDo - double click me. Double clicking makes a box slide in from the side. Am I supposed to just play around with this?

Maybe I have to double-click on the yellow box at the left hand side? Nope, single clicked, and it is gone. How do I learn how to use nubido now? Click around a bit trying to find 'bring back finished tasks', nothing. I can't find out how to use nubido. I'm leaving. (End of session)

There are quite a lot of pain points there. I genuinely at the end don't know how I'm suppose to learn how to use nubido.. is the assumption I'll just click around and pick it up?

Bonus comment about me using your product:

I know you aren't going to want to hear this, but I suspect too many people have got burnt by task managers disappearing on short notice. You (in my opinion) have to be clear up front about how I'm not going to lose all my data when you pack up.

At the very least you need a way of me getting all my data out.
