As you can see on the website for his iPhone app [1] and iPad app [2] the developer is very capable of creating informative and practical websites to present his products.
However, the point of HN and beta versions is to have meaningful feedback. We would do a serious disservice to the community if we don't be honest about what exactly sucked.
I think he might be willing to do a similar homepage for his final app. It would hurt him if he goes off beta with the present animated feel. Maybe he's willing to try something new. I seriously vote against it if he is.
You're giving feedback about the wrong thing. The point of this beta is clearly to improve the app, not his website. In fact, that's not even the app's own website (which is http://reederapp.com/). He's using his studio's.
Also, the link has "brewery". So yeah, the hackers at the cafe it is, probably. :)
