Maybe I should have linked that instead of the landing page???
What do you think I'm new to this :)
Show HN: I made a landing page am I doing this right?

I went through your blog post and I like your idea. Would love to see further iterations with the page and product
I will say though, to me personally it looks very simplistic. For example, the button and the textbox appear to have no styling. Also I don't understand why there's an X in the top-right corner which repeats the intro animation.
The background images took ages to load (I’m assuming they’re massive, I’m on 4g). The image didn’t complete loading before switching.
Swiping down brought up a modal, but it didn’t load correct, and it didn’t seem to yet any content beyond a vinyl logo?
The animation apparently only starts when I hover/move my mouse, so I was waiting for a while for nothing to happen.
The background image(s) are quite heavy.
The text is way too small for me to read.
Here's an old principle: Make your front page clearly state what the heck is going on. For example, going to https://www.fsf.org/ you get the very first sentence below the menu: "The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is a nonprofit with a worldwide mission to promote computer user freedom." Or going to https://monta.com/ (a random startup) you get a UI screenshot, a call-to-action button and the first sentence: "Monta is the operating platform powering the EV ecosystem serving drivers, companies, cities, and the electricity grid with one integrated software solution."
You have so many pixels, why do I need to click "Read more" when I could be reading more right away? I am here to sign up, but there's no pitch.
Your e-mail input placeholder says unknownartist@dj.exchange which is quite confusing, am I inputing my e-mail or choosing a username for your site?
The front page does not give any hint as to how this exchange works or will work. Screenshots of future UI is popular on landing pages, but there are other ways.

duly noted good sir thank you for the feedback I shall iterate
It wasn’t a good experience on mobile (iPhone SE2020). The background images took ages to load (I’m assuming they’re massive, I’m on 4g). The image didn’t complete loading before switching.

I'm by no means a UI expert, but 1. The email box / button needs to be much bigger. You probably want a more custom button style as well 2. Image loading speed is inconsistent; choice of image also. I will probably stick with a single image 3. Animation of the record is cool, but it should be triggered once only. There is no need for a big "X" button to reset it I went through your blog post and I like your idea. Wou…
The big X is a holdover from when I was first testing it. I should get rid of that. The s are unstyled I can change that!
Thank you so much
