Love the video as background, explained to me very well what Dragdis was about. Great tool!

First thought is that the link to "See how Dragdis works" takes you to a youtube video that shows pretty much the same thing as what plays in the page background. I don't think you need both. I like the concept, though I didn't play around with it to see whether the implementation was what I would hope it to be.

Totally agree. We have A/B test on this. Here's the link: https://dragdis.com/?utm_expid=62885031-0.MT689rjeTqy8Wox1xf...

At first we worried that people will not "get" the product without full video, but killing the video link and exposing social buttons increased conversion 5% for the past day.

Thanks for you comment!

The idea is great, but there is a problem with using the Chrome extension in incognito mode - when I start dragging anything, the sidebar opens empty..

i like it, yes its standard but its extremely functional. and maybe there is some bias because i like the concept of dragdis but regardless the site is clear and concise

Yeah, we're having this dilemma fresh vs. effective :)

Thanks! http://dragd.is/7XEr9

Wait a sec or refresh. You should get a login page. Thanks!

The main text says "Drag & drop anything anywhere," so naturally I selected some text on the site and tried to drag it around. Nothing happened.

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

My internet is pretty slow at work, so the video although nice looking was choppy and really bad. Not sure what you can do about it, but it didn't look good at all.

Whole team is now discussing about this. Thanks for the comment!

The immediate register form when clicking "Get started" is very off putting. I was actually looking for which browsers/OSes you support, not looking to register and get settled. Being able to install it and then "log in or register to sync between computers" would be much nicer.

What is the purpose of this landing page?

If it's to get new users to sign up, "Get started" should literally allow me to get started - i.e perform a step that is absolutely necessary towards using the product, not create an account.

So something like installing a browser plugin and/or a sandbox to try the product out - basically anything that gets me to my "aha" moment - would work better imo. I think that would then convince more people to sign up.
