Like most websites of such projects, its missing the "What is X" that explains what problem your "product X" solves. (yes you are selling your product) And gives context such as being a supplement to Y and an alternative to Z. After reading every page, i still have no idea what it does, what its for and how i can learn more about Y and Z so i can understand why i need X.

It's an alternative to creating a repo for your 50-line app and pushing it up to Heroku, basically.

I... never would have guessed that. Still can't wrap my mind around it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Um... If it was an "entirely different" project from Nodejitsu, then why was it your project four years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1666304

Give him a break, this is how projects - and especially personal projects - develop. You find a cool idea you want to explore on, the end product might be something totally different then what you started with.

Yes, but you don't typically replace the same domain with two totally different services. You create 2 new domains. I would never pay someone for a service when they've repeatedly shown that they're willing to throw out the system people have started depending on and replace it with something radically different. Not only can I not trust the stuff to stay around, I can't trust the developer to have enough of an attention span to care about the old stuff enough to even just leave it alone to keep working in maintenance mode.
